((viewer from Hurt (Ronald E. Frustaglia) is wondering whether war on Afghanistan is the right answer to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "Inevitably, war will kill and injure innocent civilians who had nothing to do with the attacks of September 11th. Most are already suffering from extreme oppression and poverty, especially in Afghanistan. A US-led war will only give the people who committed these crimes what they wanted...The US must not sacrifice its core values in the process of defending the nation from acts of terror. Rather, the way that the US responds should demonstrate the nation's enduring commitment to freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law."
Another viewer watching stories about protesters sent in this letter (Randy M. Fellows/Henry)
"These terrorists have entered the door of freedom and will not stop at anything to destroy our peace of mind. I wonder what these people would have said if one of their family members had perished in one of the attacks. These Peace Protesters want peace and for the United States to stay out of the region...It appalls me to see people that are so gullible think that all we have to do is turn our backs and walk away and nothing else will happen."

Sirena will serve as a military police officer at Fort Ustis in the Virginia Beach area. She could be there anywhere from 4 to 6 months or up to a year. She hopes to return to Roanoke College next fall, finish up her senior year and, take advantage of an NCAA rule that grants her a fifth year of field hockey eligibility. She's second on the team in scoring but her value extends far beyond the field. ((:)) ((NAT SOUND PRAYER:))
Her roommates and friends are praying hard for her but nothing makes her approaching departure any easier, although her roommates are helping her pack. No spring break bathing suits or suntan lotions here, just army fatigues and boots.
So, packed and ready for the call, Sirena enjoys her final days with friends, she even likes the grueling practices, after all she scored 298 out of a possible 300 in an Army fitness test which includes push ups sit ups and a short distance run. Knowing she could leave any day now, her teammates decided to scribbled her number 21 onto their cleats.
