Heart-broken

I just finished reading the WSJ's frontpage article, "Leap of Faith" published in their May 25, 2004 paper. The article spoke of the heroic acts of Jason Dunham who was killed by throwing his body on top of a grenade and saving two men in Iraq. Jason grew up in my home town Scio. I cried reading the article for him and his family, and for all the personal stories like his that are behind the generic headlines "One Marine killed in Fallujah".


Depressingly yours, EH
