MEMORIAL DAY

As we approach Memorial Day, 2006, we should reflect that two-thirds of Americans understand we have 140,000 soldiers fighting, bleeding, dying for the wrong war, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. They know we can best honor them by bringing them home and never again sending them to an unnecessary war of choice. They further want those responsible for launching this war called to account.
