Re: My son, "Chris Mason" was killed in Iraq 11-28-2006
Brave men like you son keep this country safe and free so that we can spend our time on much, much less significant things (like cars) without worrying enough about the real evils in the world. We are forever indebted to the courageous and noble men and women of our armed forces and grieve with you for your family's loss. As you know from experience, freedom is not free -- the cost of patriotism is personal and painful and often terribly unfair. Your service and your sacrifice humble the rest of us. May your son rest in the peace he has earned, and with our eternal thanks for his fearless vigilance.
