Our Chance To Make A BIG splash On Yahoo On Iraq War

I just saw this on Yahoo, and best part is its fresh.

Apparently Yahoo is asking for us (meaning all of you) to tell your story about the Iraq slaughter[my emphasis].

Behind those numbers, of course, lie personal stories of service members and their families. As we approach the exact date of the anniversary, Yahoo News is inviting you to share your stories. We’re publishing first-person stories written not only by Americans who served in Iraq in the past 10 years, but also family members of troops, to hear how they’ve changed, too.

I don't know if they are looking for the sob stories, or the kind of stories. But I say the only story to tell is the reality of what happened. In my mind, that is the ONLY story to tell! And the fact (based on the clip I saw from TRMS) there are several war criminals walking free who should be elsewhere. So welcome to LC's Writing Composition 101 where you can write your own story to yahoo and maybe give them a perspective they may not expect--in large numbers. Class dismissed.
