Noted. Tensions accelerating in Afghaistan and the toll is mounting. What a terrible situation and sadness for families and for all of us. Prayers go out to the families of these latest casualties. Thank you for this story, Terri, sad though it is.

Sad beyond reason!! The families are & will be devestated for a lifetime.

Our children are dying for a place that has been fighting each other for centuries. It will never stop even after we are out of there.

And they have died because of oil & Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLANT TREES FOR LIFE.......

Birdie i will pray for your nephew....and Carolyn your nephew too, and for all of our boys ..young innocent kids sent over to murder and be murdered, makes me sick, and yes Bette we better plant trees cause they might be the only thing left sad to say.....I used to be such an optomist, but living here in the good ole USA and watching the news makes me so depressed..I just want to run away and live on Walton's Farm...where ever that might be in the 21st century
thanks for all your comments...so terrible it had to be on such a sad event.

Another Viet Nam. When will the world come together and realize that we're all one and the same. It has gone on for thousands of years, and unfortunatlly it will continue after our troops are pulled out. My heart goes out to families and friends who have given so much.....

This such sad news how my heart goes out to all these familys and to each of you too, I will lift you up in prayer too for your family. I want our men and women home, we should have never been in there in the first place nor Iraq. Birdie will pray for your Nephew as soon as I post this and all of our troops. Sadly noted Terri
