Suns a blazen in the dead of summer here in Iraq, our downed gunner, while back home our children sleep into dead of night, wishing to see thire daddy's face when they get back home from the fight.

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
