Kelvin -- I am a pacifist, and I am particularly opposed to this specific war, but am nonetheless very thankful that you are home and safe. Although I do not agree with Bush in beginning the fighting, I have no quarrel with the praise and admiration that are going to you soldiers, who have made great personal sacrifice and braved many intolerable circomstances to promote something you believe in. I only wish each of us could live our lives to such a high degree of virtue and valor. Parents can feel quite good about holding up for emulation the men and women who are acting more from duty and generosity, and less from motives of selfish gain or personal glorification.
So, welcome home, and thank you for the example you set for those around you.
