The people who are slamming me have no idea about what it feels like to unjustly have a child killed in an insane war.

No one can sustain rage for long. I am still angry and always will be. My dear son was stolen from me and his family to never return. He was killed for profit and lies. How can I not be angry? Sometimes though, the rage comes back.

My husband has always agreed with me philosophically.

I'm just a regular mother who's trying to save lives and be the best human being I can be.

It's obvious that things aren't going well over there. This is a war based on lies.

I can't speak for the other people whose children have died, but I can speak for my family and the other members of Gold Star Families for Peace. We believe we're honoring our children by working for peace.

Let's push the Pentagon off the fiscal cliff.
