Subject: Thanks Mark

Thanks for your post of "The Paratrooper of Love".

As you know, my son and I sent over many bags and bags of toys for the Iraq children, and we felt very good about that decision. When time went by and we were treated to the killings, maimings and beheadings of our soliders and countrymen my opinion changed to a "Kill em' all and let God sort them out later" attitude. Then I wanted to cry when I saw the suidide bombers killing innocent civilians/children. All I could think of was "One of the dead children could have been holding onto one of my sons toys/stuffed animals when they were so brutally murdered. It was all just too sad. Today, with a tear in my eye, I'm proud that something so small as a stuffed bear saved many Marine lives. Could that have been one of Will's bears?? It was definetly a humbling experiance.
