see our own daughters" - Michelle Obama

I said that this could have been
my own son" - Barack Obama

These are heartfelt statements for the abducted girls in Nigeria. We all are
parents, daughters and sons of our great American nation. We share the
compassion expressed by the First Lady and President, and at the same time
we also feel profound grief and gratitude about the sons and daughters of America
who gave their lives for the security, peace and freedom of the American people.
Especially at this time of year, we remember the beaches of Normandy, Iwo Jima
and right now we cannot put aside the four sons of America murdered in Benghazi,
a tragedy which still requires full transparency and proper acknowledgment.
"What difference does it make?" Just a matter of common decency and morality.
