| #12 I agree, Sherry. I've lost two young friends, my landlord is in Afghanistan, his youngest son just started Boot Camp, his oldest son is a crew chief on a Medivac hellicopter in Iraq, One hell of a Generation. I can only give them moral and financial support. I'm too far gone physically to be of service otherwise. My vote will help (I hope and prey). |

| #11 I have to admit -- those pics, as Matt said, "the grimy young Israeli combat engineers returning from battle" -- well, I kinda kept going back to them. This site of pics was found from clicking from, then clicking from -- via http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/ site who is currently in Israel. She quoted this from Naomi Ragen, with more clicking I found is an American-born novelist and playwright who has lived in Jerusalem since 1971. She has published six internationally best-selling novels, and is the author of a hit play in Israel's National Theatre that I read before I saw the pics of these warriors: Israel is a strange country. It is the only place where the people mourn the deaths of soldiers more than civilian deaths. Because the death of a soldier is the death of our children, our future fathers and mothers, our brightest hopes. Nothing tears at the heart of our people more. At this time, when our soldiers are being called up to the front in the thousands from all segments of the population, all parts of the nation, we as a nation embrace them collectively, as one, holding them close to our hearts, the way a mother embraces her beloved, only child. hat tip Naomi Ragen With the limited contact I've had with this generation of our warriors (and I include these fighting for Israel) and their partners and peers, I have faith in our future. They are doing incredible things. Greatest Generation, Part II. |

| #4 Wow, Sherry, that's 10 pounds in a 5 pound bag! What a great find! |

| #3 Well that was worth going through. The pics of the Indonesians were ones I'd not seen before - a couple dozen guys whizzing on motorbikes dressed in white sheets brandishing guns (including shotguns) and no coppers 'had a word'? Hmmm |

| #1 Great post, Sherry. The photos of the grimy young Israeli combat engineers returning from battle are worth the price of admission. Put them in the dictionary next to "Allies." |
