Sgt. 1st Class Merideth Howard
Dear God, what is wrong with this country? This news story is the first I read today. It made me feel sick. Another honorable, dutiful National Guard soldier killed in action. What makes her different? She held undergraduate and master's degrees in marine biology. She was the first female firefighter in Bryant, Texas. She owned a business. She was Sgt. 1st Class. She was 52 years old & the Army called her up for active duty & had her manning a turret gun in Afghanistan! Killed in the same action was a 43 year old Staff Sgt. Are we as desperate as the Russians beating back the Nazis from the Gates of Moscow? Dear God, what is wrong with this country?

There was another story in the paper a few days ago only it was a young girl whose term was slated to be up in December. Doesnt seem right either way.
