for ALL politicians including our own senators about the cost of war to the families. Please send this to Murray and Cantwell and your rep. They need to read this into the record. What you said was more than words on a page, it was the stab in the heart they need to feel as they go forward in dealing with this monster.
I am sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the work it took for you and your mother to go on.
