But I'll certainly have another one for this one. Earlier, I went to the post office to send something off. While in line I watched an individual trying to buy an envelop that would fit a tabloid size weekly paper. Since It's one where I'll start a photo blog in a few weeks, I decided to ask what he thought of it. It turned out that the cover portrait was of his son, who was KIA in Iraq. Both him and his wife, who was translating for him, are latino immigrants. The kid went in so that he could make his mother a citizen when he turned 21. He was dead at 19. Think I'll have that other drink now.<<<<<<<<<<< Slobodan mon ami, I'm joining you immediately! It's a shame when a young boy like this offers himself and life to his newly chosen Country, then gives his life. :-( I trust the government would pay attention to this situation and make his mother a USA citizen! Surely that would be small compensation for sacrificing his life for Country and Mother. Now lets all give this young lad a sharp salute for his dedication! Ted
