109. This picture appeared in my local paper
yesterday - Mike and Vicki Melia at the funeral of their 20-year-old son Anthony, one of the latest Iraq casulaties. Friends of the family are quoted in the accompanying article uttering the usual "he died for our freedom" platitudes along with the statement that Anthony had joined the Marines right out of high school because he wanted to go to Iraq and "find those responsible for 9/11."




I can't help but think if Anthony and his parents had done some research and been better informed, he would be alive today and they wouldn't be living this terrible nightmare.
