Young Marine dies in Iraq - not just another casualty

This is a story about a young Marine killed in Iraq. He didn't vote for GWB either time and probably never would have. His dad is a Democrat. They both seem to have not been supporters of the war.

I'm posting it, not as a pronouncement of support for or objection to, the war. I'm doing it because I think there's a lesson here. From a young guy caught up in something not of his doing. But he made a decision and it cost him. Guys like this, IMO, are an example of why this country can always be, if we work at it, the greatest on the planet.
