On a more serious note when I heard one of the ladies had been rescued my heart was hopeing for that coloured lady from Texas who was shown on Iraq t.v. The look of terror in that poor girls eyes will be the one nightmare I will have with me when this hell is over. Even now thinking of that look in her eyes makes me nearly cry... so out of her depth. I hope they find her soon 
Anyone else as touched as I was or am I just a big softie like my wife keeps telling me *sigh*

I was hoping it was her too and I was
so happy, so surprised to see Jessica Lynch instead. That woman's face, her fear, brought tears to my eyes. Her face is clear and vivid in my memory...in the forefront of my mind when I say my prayers for our troops.
I cannot even look at the faces that either FOX or CNN flashes across the screen with the title "The Ultimate Sacrifice", accompanied by dramatic music, those killed in action...its like they are my kids, my family...the first two times I saw them do that, a huge lump formed in my throat and I couldn't even speak to ask my room mate to change the channel momentarily. Now I am not so caught off guard and turn away to say a prayer for their families. Somehow I feel like the media is making a big show of deaths that should be honored in a more gentle way imo.
