SHACKLED
Shackled by my grief The letters seared into my flesh This pain is for Tim These tears are for him He died in Iraq last Saturday

I served in Iraq April 2003 - March 2004, U.S. Army, 92Y, 4th Infantry Division. After my tour I filed for and received Conscientious Objector Status, and an honorable discharge. I attended the Veterans and Survivors March and Silent March in Washington, D.C. and I testified before the Congressional Commission on Disability Benefits. I was elected to the IVAW Board of Directors during the Veterans for Peace Conference in Seattle in August 2006. I feel that Iraq Veterans Against the War is not just an Anti-War group; it's also a close-knit family of veterans who care deeply for one another and for the cause of Peace.
