Remember the wounded.

Required reading for every American citizen, in my humble opinion: MSNBC/Washingtonpost.com's Karl Vick reports about More troops suffering severe head wounds:

"The remaining 40 percent to 50 percent of patients include those whom the surgeons send to Europe, and on to the United States, with no prospect of regaining consciousness. The practice, subject to review after gathering feedback from families, assumes that loved ones will find value in holding the soldier's hand before confronting the decision to remove life support."
