My kid brother 20 years old next Wednesday will be flying to Fort Hood....and from there catching a flight for Baghdad. He was one of 22 from two National Guard units chosen to go. Needless to say we're all worried and scared for him....just the other day he was doign funeral detail for a kid a couple of months younger than him...and the best part is he says the unit he'll be attached to is one of the hardest hit in the war....lovely. This is the first time one of us have gone to war since Vietnam....and one just as pointless and wasteful, if not more. Please do your part and get that SOB out of the white house!

Amergin,

I am sorry for you and your brother. May the universe keep him safe and comfort you in the process, buddy.

Best of luck to him. I have a yellow ribbon on my car for him and all of the rest of our daughters, sons, brothers and sisters...right next to my Kerry sticker.

Been there. I know what he's going through. We "lost" 300 folks from around here when the local NG unit left on July 3. Yellow ribbons abound -- and so do Kerry stickers. I saw one that said "Defend America -- Defeat Bush" on a car sporting two yellow ribbon magnets. And Idaho is a traditionally Republican state.

BTW, Kerry has a vacation home in Sun Valley.

I will keep your brother in my prayers, Amergin. And I will vote the baby bush out of the White House.
