reading reaction(the war within)

The War Within is a story about a marine that gets mobilized to Iraq after the trade center was hit on the 11Th of September. This was a sad day for the united states but even more for David Botti, the 19 year marine having one more night out in the city of New York. That day the word went through all the office really quickly and his fellow coworkers started to shake his hand and showing appreciation and respect for what he was doing for the country. His coworkers all signed a little flag and had him promise he would keep it in his bag throughout his deployment. He got a cab home and starting making calls to all his family and friends and they were all confused but also very proud of him. He went out to eat and then went home to go to sleep because he had a huge day tomorrow starting at 6a.m. I really liked this article because i have a lot of respect for people that are in Iraq and that fight for this country. I have a couple friends that went to the marines after high school that could go to Iraq at anytime if there called on. That to me is crazy and very brave and almost even scary because i would never want to to lose a friend at war. But i thought this article was good and was very interesting and just for a little more info this article was published in the New York Times.
