A Life, Wasted
Early on Aug. 3, 2005, we heard that 14 Marines had been killed in Haditha, Iraq. Our son, Lance Cpl. Edward "Augie" Schroeder II, was stationed there. At 10:45 a.m. two Marines showed up at our door. After collecting himself for what was clearly painful duty, the lieutenant colonel said, "Your son is a true American hero."

I agree. It's rare to get to hear the family's perspective in national newspapers. You usually have to look at the local papers to get the real sense of what's going on with these soldier's families.
