Hometown Farewell

This too is my small hometown in New Jersey.

The schools let out, people left their jobs to line Main Street to salute a fallen son who perished in Afghanistan. He was only 23. Look at the pictures . . .

1. 2nd time to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq.

I hate hearing that. If we're going to fight wars, we're going to have to distribute the cost more equitably - and that would be enough to stop us.
