I'm not sure exactly what to say about the soldiers. It is so sad, and we don't want any of them
to be killed.
I have listened to many interviews with 'parents' of fallen soldiers, and on almost all occasions
they state that their son/daughter was happy to be there, felt a need to be there, and although
the parent on occasion didn't like the idea, they said they could never have stopped their son or
daughter from going, because that is what they 'wanted' to do with their lives.
That tells it all for me, they knew the dangers, they wanted to be there, they were great citizens,
we are proud of them, and will 'never' forget.
