#1 Makes people realise that personal sacrifice to benefit others is really worth the effort. I have had similar experiences in Belfast but not anywhere near as profound as this little story.

I have always held the beleif that the young next generation in Iraq will rise above the idiotic psycho-religious nuts and realise what sacrifices America and other nations have made in the face of such blind evil.

#5 Oh boy, my allergies are really bad this time of year. You know, sniffling, watery eyes, that sort of thing.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

#6 Long live the Screaming Eagles!

May they be found at their posts and on the front line, doing their duty fighting evil here, until they are relieved by the Armies Angelic when Messiah Comes..
