Look at that face... he was a baby.

Thank you, Bill. These remembrance posts are some of your most important.

There are those who believe if dubya gets elected, he will ramp things up over there and it will become a blood bath. Thought process is that if he doesn't do this, it will just drag out in its current state for many years. Do you think that is likely - his cranking things up if reelected, I mean? (heaven forbid)

Remembrance seems the wrong term although they are being remembered by listing their names... But truthfulness posts... Info posts... ???

Alright, you can take Bush out of office just don't put that moron Kerry in it please!

And before we know it, we'll be building a big memorial on the Washington Mall for all the names of our sons and brothers and fathers and husbands- and daughters and sisters and mothers and wives- we lost to this idiocy.

I'm sure that will make it all better for their families.

There is no excuse for this horror.

I see people driving around with "W" stickers on their cars and I feel like I am living in some kind of horror movie about the Nazi regime and people just blindly following this leader whom history will reflect as the worst kind of evil idiot.

How dare you use the names of our soilders who fought and died for a cause they believed in. The servicemen and servicewomen fought to maintain the freedom and democracy in the USA. Remember 9/11. How do you think we will elimate a threat to our nation's freedom? These men and women were in Iraq for the cause not just for a paycheck. They belived in President Bush and stood behind him as do I.

Standing behind him with no name?

someone:

"use" their names? interesting. i guess you don't get that bill is trying to honor these people by posting their names. the statistics are not enough. these were people. young men. with families. bill reads in detail about these people, relates many stories of their lives to me, and posts their names as it seems to him that it's the LEAST he can do.

oh yes. we remember 9/11. i guess you're one of those people who can't follow a simple line of logic. 9/11 does NOT relate to iraq. read the 9/11 commission report.

we do NOT stand behind president bush. but we DO stand behind the service men and women who are relying on our leaders to use them and not abuse the sacred trust and faith that they have put in his hands to not misuse them. it's a subtle distinction, whether you accept it or understand it is YOUR problem.

we feel that SOMEONE must speak out for them. a lot of people are.

it's a constant source of amazement and wonder to me how many people evidently slept through basic civics classes. the u.s. constitution is a beautiful thing. i guess it's just easier to wave a flag.

translation into terms which you can understand: you are an ignorant chickenshit.

"Use" their names? Like writing them down? Ooooohhhh, yeah, how dare someone do that?

You're standing behind President Bush, "someone"? What do you want, a cookie?

Gah. Someone, that's perhaps the stupidest thing I've read in my entire life. My head hurts.

My brother, LCPL Michael J. Allred is one of those listed on your site. I would like to tell you some of the things he and the Marines he served with have said. They all believe that we need to be in Iraq. Michael said many times not to believe what you see in the media becuase it is not the full story. He compared it to showing L.A.'s news as the news for the entire U.S. Things are getting better and we are making a difference. The media swings it so that we don't see all the good that is happening. I appreicate your thoughts. I, however, do support President Bush and our troops.
