Shaken father writes to president - Son KIA 2-3-04
http://www.thnt.com/thnt/story/0,21282,901315,00.html

Dear President Bush,
With heavy heart, tears in my eyes and a home full of sorrow, I pick up my pen to write you about a brave soldier, 2nd Lt. Seth J. Dvorin, U.S. Army. My son was killed in Iraq on Feb. 3, 2004 fighting in a war.

Seth was a good boy, well-mannered, smart, kind and understanding.

He joined the Army in an effort to serve his country. And serve his country he did. Seth made the ultimate sacrifice.

Burying a child will no doubt be the hardest task that his mother and I shall ever have to do. The one question I have, and the one question I would like you to answer, is, "Why did my son and every other soldier that was killed, maimed and wounded have to suffer settling your vendetta?"

4. How much you want to bet
he never receives an answer, or gets a mass reply saying how proud Bush is of his son dying for 'Iraqi democracy' or some such twaddle.
