Children of Heroes Foundation is
a way all of us can address the concern every American has for the
children of service people who are casualties in Iraq. Nothing can
heal the deep wound of the loss of a parent. But we can, as
communities and a nation, stand together with those whose loss a grief
are profound. I am pleased to endorse this effort to provide
college scholarships, counseling and emergency services. This
project expresses the common bonds, regardless of our political
affiliations or opinions on the war in Iraq, that bind us together as
one nation. |

Whatever our backgrounds, religious
affiliation, politics and views on the present war, the hearts of all
Americans reach out to the families, and particularly, to the children,
of those who have perished in the conflict. In this we are united.
Support for children of heroes is a way for which all of us yearn to be
united in bringing healing to hurt, wholeness to the brokenness of loss,
to express in deed that which is the heart of all spirituality, acts of
charity and love. |
