As always, your words are exact and eloquent. I feel as though I've been gut-punched, not only by event but by how a mass of our population is trying to score political points instead of mourning for humanity. Thank you. You've helped us again.

Dan, this is one of your best, albeit solemn, articles. Hopefully, you’ll never have to write such an article ever again.

When I heard this news of g to he suicide bombers that killed our service members, it struck hard. It brought back flashbacks of the days of your reporting of the Vietnam war, and the massive loss of life constantly being reported, almost in a daily basis.

If I may, could I add to this list of yours, Dan.

I also mourn for those lives lost daily across this country to senseless shootings. I mourn for the law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, daily.

As I go to bed each evening, I say a prayer for our service men, and women fighting in foreign lands, protecting us, American citizens, and our country. Included are our first responders, doctors, nurses, and everyone in the medical profession fighting this, what seems to be, un-winable war against COVID. Snd I pray for the families of those lost in the war, and this pandemic that they may understand the senseless loss of life by some stupidity of others.

Amen
