Sending sons to Iraq
Rep. Marilyn Musgrave wrote me a letter supporting the war in Iraq, dated March 29, 2007, wherein she stated: "I believe we must support the sacrifice of the individuals that have served in Iraq by allowing our troops the opportunity to succeed."

Consider the possibility that a mother in Colorado had two sons who served in Iraq. One was killed in the first month of his second term of service. The second son is now in his 11th month of his first term. Would this mother want her second son to have the opportunity of returning to Iraq for a second term, so our troops could succeed?
