#3 Where is the press that claim to be "supporting the troops"?

THIS is the story they should tell.

The NYT should be running a whole page on the front of its "people" section about this guy and how he gave his last breath and effort to save his fellow Marines.

But why not? Because the NYT doenst want ANYTHING heroic associated with this war - it would reverse thier efforts to turn this into "another Vietname" to support thier own political biases.

The shame and destruction of the honest and free press continues. Thank God for the web.

#4 I'm probably going to mangle it, since I don't have the Bible verse memorized, but.....
Greater love hath no man than this, than to lay his life down for his friends
Rest in peace, Sir.

#8 I've read Peralta's story a few times--helps to tune into the right news sources. I shed a few tears each time I read about him. What a magnificent act...
