My heart goes out to all the friend and families of folks serving our country in foreign lands. It is especially tough on parents who love their kids for wanting to make the world a better place, but daily face someone who may hate them enough to kill them. My daughter is in the peace corps (comes home in April 2013) and though she is not in a country at war she is frequently told how she is hated because she is an American and she is white. She works daily to help the youth on her island to understand America and what she stands for while she is dealing with their drug addictions. Bless her heart and may God keep all those serving safe from harm.
