orichalcum at 01:39pm on 12/09/2007 under iraqA few weeks ago, seven soldiers, almost all senior NCOs, on active duty in Iraq co-wrote an op-ed column in the New York Times. It is insightful, beautifully written, and passionately argued.
During the writing of the article, one of the soldiers, Jeremy Murphy, was shot in the head; he is expected to survive, but is still in a military hospital. Yesterday, two of the other soldiers, Omar Mora and Yance T. Gray, died in a vehicle accident in Iraq. They both leave behind wives and baby daughters, who will never know the bravery of their fathers, both in war and in speaking the truth. If you haven't read their words before, please do so today, in honor of their memories and their sacrifice.
Support the troops. Bring them home.
