I am a Mother of a Marine and a grandmother of a combat medic soldier. Both have been deployed to Iraq. My son has been deployed twice to Iraq.He was there in Iraq two months before we declared war. My grandson just returned from Iraq a month ago after a year deployment.Both are still in the military forces and are active.I am a typical Mother and grandmother that loves her children and is very concerned for their safety. I have spent the last few days and nights signing petitons and passing them onto everyone I know to stop the deployment of anymore troops to Iraq.I have even called my congressman and asked that he be my voice in congress, when congress meets on this issue. It is very important for all Americans to use their voice to speak up and let our congressmen know how we feel about the war in Iraq. I have a Military Families and Troop Support group. I started this in Dec.2006.I have used my group to spread the word about signing the petitions.
