You right Bong, change done.

Sgt! Good luck my friend. Come back to us in one piece. Of all the accolades I could think of,"HONOR" fits best.

Thank you for your service and best of luck.

Looking forward to your future posts and hearing you are home safe....

Don't go if you do not believe in this war. Why would you put your life and the emotional wellbeing of everyone who cares about you and loves you in jeopardy for something you know is not right?

You don't have to serve your country by perpetuating an already illegal war. You can best serve your country by standing up for what is right and trying to stop this madness. The Bush admin can only continue with their deadly agenda as long as the troops are willing to be led there like lambs to the slaughter.

Whatever you decide to do I wish you all the best and pray that you return safely.

May the good Lord shine his light on you.

I'd give my left nut to be over there with you. You're fightin the good fight (even if you don't realize it now) This babys just startin to percolate.....

This is one American mother's story published in our news today. The link to the full article is at the end of this post.

Sirko, 20, went to Iraq in January 2005 as a combat medic. He died on April 17, 2005 of "non-combat-related injuries".

The army said he died in his sleep. His mother believed he was overworked, often operating for 24 hours a day on poor food. He lost 20 kilograms in his few months there.

The last time they spoke, he asked her to send a video game. "He was just a boy," she said.

His coffin was returned to North Carolina on a cargo plane. It was the last piece of "freight" unloaded, four hours after the dogs and the baggage.

Ms Lipman believes this was done after dark because of a ban by the Bush Administration on the photographing of flag-draped coffins.

Ms Lipman's story, and that of the other 2400 mothers who have lost their sons in Iraq, is beginning to loom large in the US.

In a message to Australia she said: "Quit supporting my country and supporting crimes against humanity. You don't spread peace by killing people."

Ms Lipman shuffled off, the grief all too much. She was comforted by her friend Georgia Stilwell, from Wisconsin. Ms Stillwell's son Robert, 20, came home from Iraq. But she said he is so mentally damaged that he is now jobless and homeless.

She shows his photos in a cheap, flip-out picture wallet.

There is a picture of him, shirt off, welts and blast wounds on his shoulders and chest.

There is another of the interior of a wrecked car, covered in the brains of an Iraqi her son had just killed. "Most kids his age, they hit a dog and they're disturbed," she said.

"My boy was seeing this and doing this every day," she said. "No child should have to do that."

Good luck. May the good Lord shine a light on you

Aside from all political opinions this is the saddest thing about the Iraq war. That you know people are dying there with whom you could be sitting down and having a beer. You are definitely one of those Chris and how I hope you will make it out of there unhurt. I wish you strength and courage.

Take care Chris- play your Stones records loud- and see you back here, soon.

Take care, Chris.

Maarten

good luck and make sure you are safe to come chat with us.

Take care chris, i know mick & the boys sounds will keep you going.

Say a prayer for the common foot soldier
Spare a thought for his back breaking work
Say a prayer for his wife and his children
Who burn the fires and who still till the earth

Hi Chris.

Thank you for your courage.
