When I read about the sentencing on the news here, I read about this man being eligible for parole in 10 years because of a plea bargain. Of course, that involves a hearing in ten years, and he will not automatically be free.

I understand the last man to be sentenced is in Kentucky. Not sure which soldiers of the 4 charged were supposed to 'benefit' from the plea bargain.

Heck - I was going through old mail today; I had two letters from years ago, both replies from our Federal Government, and one signed by our prime minister at the time.

I didn't get in any trouble for writing those letters - and I know the freedom I have to do that came at a very very high cost.

I have two uncles who made sure of the freedom. They came home...but for our military folks, the war is never really over.

I am totally humbled...no amount of gratitude is sufficient.
