My condolences to his family and friends. I saw his photo in our regional media (I'm in Washington, too). He has such a baby face..

15. Thank you for sharing.

The first thing I did this morning was watch "Going Upriver". I cried and cried over the bravery and patriotism of young men.

Tonight, the last thing I do before bed, is I cry again, for Jonathan Santos. Another brave young American.

The men in Washington who sent him enjoy their dinners and sleep well in comfortable beds in fine homes while another young soldier lies dead.

23. any way you could send our sympathy to his family????

[anonymousdemocrat]

24. Would love to.

How should I do it? I could sign a card on behalf of all of you.
Would the messages in this thread be appropriate to send, also, or too political?

Thank you so much,
