Recruiters in our country are known for lying to people.

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.

I wake up every day feeling like today's the day to make a difference. I never question the correctness of what I'm doing or the need for it.

I never go anywhere and encourage people to get married to someone of the same gender or to have abortions - the issue never comes up.

My husband has always agreed with me philosophically.

I raised four kids in six years.

I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.
