I am Lt. Col. in the Marine Corps and have been in Iraq now for over three months (on the way to just over 12). I am married and have three beautiful children. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate what you wrote in your June 6 article entitled, “The Cost of the War on Terrorism.” We are doing a great deal of good out here and even if the worst happens to me, it will all have been worth it - my wife and kids know that also. You are a great American Ben and knowing that people like you exist and can write so eloquently about this war makes it easier to deal with.

Mr. Stein graced us with his presence at the TAPS gathering over Memorial Day weekend. The ending line of his article states so eloquently that there is a heavy price we pay for freedom, however there is still light, there is still hope and there is still promise for the future.
Mr. Stein, thank you for being a part of our weekend. Thank you for your patriotism and for honoring the sacrifice of our men and women in the armed forces and their families.
