Parents Of Killed Soldier Support Troops, Not War

[johnnie]

Local parents mourning their son are angry with
President George W. Bush.
Since Lance Cpl. Edward Schroeder, 23, was killed fighting in
Iraq on Aug. 3, 30 more Marines and soldiers have been killed in combat.

Paul Schroeder and Rosemary Palmer are vowing to keep their son's spirit alive by helping to protect the troops still in Iraq.

"Either send more troops to get the job done right, or send them home," Paul Schroeder said. "(They) can't keep doing what they're doing.

Schroeder's parents are lending their support to Cindy Sheehan, the mother who's protesting outside of Bush's Texas ranch. And they want others who support the troops but oppose the war to speak out.

"We applaud the efforts of Cindy Sheehan in Texas," Palmer said. "We consider her the Rosa Parks of the new movement opposing the Iraq war."

I saw this woman on the local news the night her son was killed. She was asked if she had any word to tell bush and she said "Not that can be shown on TV".

2. Cool

I do think there are a lot of similarities between Rosa Parks and Cindy Sheehan - a lot of differences too of course - but the general thrust is very similar.
