This Hurts Me.
September 30, 2004
His father found the body of his only son when he got home from work shortly before 7 p.m. In one of the notes Jeff left behind, he begged his parents not to blame themselves "because I lived a happy childhood and a great life thanks to you. Unfortunately, I am weak and cannot deal with the pain. It feels as if I lost the most important part of my life that will ever exist."While the memorial service was not intended as a political event, virtually none of the speakers were able to ignore the implications of the war in Iraq, which is leaving behind the equivalent of human cluster bomblets who will be imploding and exploding for years and decades to come.
It hurts me. It hurts you. It hurts everyone in our society. Whether we are willing to admit it or not. This war kills more off of the battlefield than on.
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Lucey,
I'm sorry our world could not do better by your son, and by the rest of the sons and daughters who are dying in this war.
