I read the news today, oh boy.
About an unlucky man who died serving his country.
I may not agree with how the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ did what it did, nor why it was formed in the first place. But I absolutely feel tears for the families on any side of armed conflict who, by no fault of their own, lose family members.
And I pray for those who had the choice to either serve their country or be called a traitor, irrespective of their personal views. They signed up to defend and protect their country, right or wrong, and defend and protect it they did. At the cost of their own life.
Today I read that Lee Hopkins had been killed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I don’t know whether Lee was a man or a woman.
What I can bet on, though, is that Lee was someone’s child, perhaps someone’s spouse or partner, perhaps someone’s parent, and definitely someone’s friend, and even though the Lee that died isn’t me there is still something inside me that mourned upon reading of my namesake’s death.
