This story on Morning Edition, Small Indiana Town Remembers Fallen Marine, got to me this morning. It just breaks my heart hearing about very normal, ordinary people caught up in the carnage of Iraq. Of course, they made their choices, but still no expects it to happen to them. I mean this guy was making plans for his future and expected to make it out of Iraq and live a full adult life. But not to be... And that strikes me as very tragic, that sacrifice of life with hardly a purpose at all.
