YOUNG LIVES LOST ONCE AGAIN....

At Fort Lewis (between Olympia & Tacoma, Washington) today, a memorial service was held for 6 soldiers killed in Iraq. Their names were:

• Staff Sgt. Vincenzo Romeo, 23, Lodi, N.J.
• Cpl. Matthew Alexander, 21, of Gretna, Neb.
• Cpl. Michael Pursel, 19, Clinton, Utah
• Cpl. Anthony Bradshaw, 21, of San Antonio, Texas
• Sgt. Joel W. Lewis, 28, Sandia Park, N.M.
• Sgt. Jason R. Harkins, 25, of Clarkesville, Ga.

All of these men were under the age of 30. One of them didn't get to live to see his 20th birthday. It's quite sad, and quite unnecessary. This bloodshed and death that is an everyday occurrence in Iraq, with both Iraqis and Americans dying, but yet it does not have to happen

I am filled with remorse, and I wish their families well. NO MORE WAR!!!!
