A friend of mine from high school is a Marine, fighting in Iraq right now. Shortly before he left, he sent his dad an email, part of which his dad shared with the local paper in Findlay. Unfortunatly I do not have a copy of the letter in front of me, but one part I remember was that the majority of the men in Brian's unit are not native-born Americans. They, like Jose, immigrated to this country and are now proud to be defending it. I think we all take the freedoms we have for granted.
