    Not for Posting, suggestion for subsequent article

    Since it has been estimated that only 6 million people in this country actually know someone who has served (is serving) in Iraq, I am among the 294 million majority. Why not a follow up article on how communities made up of people like myself can do something (other than support a move to get us out of Iraq) to support our servicepeople.
