This is so sad, and to think it's just another one of Bush and the republican failures.

A note for the family of Sgt. David Cooper. I appreciate that your son gave his all in service to our country. This country needs more young like him full of convictions and the courage to stand up for what he believes. It is my prayer that he may rest in peace. I do not know if he was married, but if he was extend my condolences to his bride.
