My husband and I have had a very difficult time with this. When Sean went over there without adequate armor, my fear for him was so great. I know he will do what they ask of him, whether he dies or not.

It will not be whether it's wrong or right to be there. There's no politicking at this table. If our soldiers are over there in harm's way, they should have the very best.

I'm just a woman who won't take no for an answer. I know if I get this out there, those soldiers won't go lacking. If we can't bring them home, it's the best we have to offer.
