I know alot of you belong to different lists, as do I. And I know from the ones I'm subscribed to that alot of people get aggravated when others post items about what has happened. They can't understand what it has to do with genealogy. My spin on this latest massacre, it can be called nothing less then that, is that for those victims, and their families there is a leaf or maybe an entire branch snapped off of their family tree. Nothing we write or say will make sense of this atrocity against humanity. But sometimes just being able to express it somehow, somewhere, makes it a little easier on our on hearts. We know it doesn't make it easier to comprehend in our minds. Rootsweb, among others, have sites that you can go to and place your thoughts. Rootsweb's site is: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=usa-tragedy.mourning If anyone has any other sites please feel free to post them here. Yes. I know for some it might be inconvenient but this does affect us all and our Families histories. They are about what our ancestors went thought and how they persevered through it all. This will be our history that we write for our children that are too young to understand, the children some of us may still have, and our grandchildren and their grandchildren. Someday they may be writing to the NARA for military records of our generation. WE are THEIR ancestors. I apologize if this has upset some. But this is my life's history and the history of my sons. I will now step down from my soapbox. God Bless America United we stand, divided we fall WE STAND UNITED! Faye Kizer Robbins
