My cousin Billy had gone to his Marine recruiter on Sept. 12th, 2001 while still in high school to see if they would take him right away and was told to be patient. He recently got out of Marine Boot Camp and was sent "someplace warm". I hope wherever he is, he will be safe. I hope this war is very short and very successful, that it will be fought as justly as possible, that the United States will be safer and the people of Iraq better off.
