My dad was in Iraq for 13 months and he died over there fighting for what he believes in. I'm not mad I'm not glad. I just want to say that it's ok if your family member dies in war because when soldiers go to Iraq they want to die for somethhing that they believe in.

I am very sorry your father died. He fought for what he believed in . I don't think any one joins the service to die for something. They all hope to make things better and some times people do die while trying to change things for the better. They also go were the millatury sends them. They go to war to make a safer place for where their family is living. Your father didn't know he was going to die fighting a war and I bet he was very worried at time being there. I know he would of wanted to come home to you and your family and I am sure he loved you very much . He also may of been afraid of going to war but being he was in the service he had no choice. Never think your father chose death over you , he went there to protect all people and make a safe place for you in the USA. Your father was a brave solder and I am sure a loving father . I will be thinking of you and hoping you will understand more when you are older. Your father was special and you were special to him. God bless you and your family.

I fought in Iraq and am very proud of what I have done, your father paid the ultimate sacrifice for his beliefs, which is more then ANY of these armchair generals and liberals have done, they mearly shout off at the mouth and do much less.
Be very proud of your Father, I am, and so is every other Soldier who ever stepped foot over there and TRULY understands.
Gods speed!

Bless you and your family, and especially your father for his sacrifice. Our nephew was in Iraq for over a year, and he and his squad were happy to go do their duties.
They were glad to come home, but although my nephew came home safe (Thank God), he did lose some friends there. But as you said, they wanted to go, they volunteered knowing the risks and the rewards, and they believed in their missions.
We were all thrilled to have him come home, and welcomed him home with a family party with all his favorite foods and tons of family and friends. We thanked God for his safe return.
I hope that you and your family are doing OK, and if you want, check out an organization that my family works with - Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors - for those who lose a loved one in active duty. Good luck, and stay strong.
