By Carol Korreck. "This is my son Tim. You have been referring to him as "military force". I want you to be continually mindful of the fact that your "military force" has a mother and two sisters that want you to value his life as much as we do."

By Sarah Slocum. "The price tag on keeping our troops in Iraq is absolutely unbelievable - an estimate of 3.9 billion a month - and it is high time that we bring them home! Although they may be happy to be rid of Saddam, it is pathetic the way that we are managing the country. They do not have access to electricity, running water, their food is going bad and they are burning up the unbearable weather that necessitates air conditioning and refrigeration."

By A Very Angry Spouse. "I am writing to you with a very heavy heart. You have failed us the American People as President. I would like to take you a day in the life of an Army Spouse. I want you to close your eyes and envision with me, but put Laura in my shoes for a minute and put your twins in our shoes."

By Valerie. "My name is Valerie and I am from the Midwest. I want to share something dear to my heart, It is mainly about our country and where it seems to be headed. I grew up in a small Midwest town. My family set their roots here many years ago."

By Kari. "Every time I get my nails done, lay around and watch tv, or anything most people take for granted I am reminded of my brother, my only sibling, over in Iraq fighting for the greed a few."

By Jessica D. Salamon. "Two days ago, May 24th, I turned 26 years old. I had no party, no cake, no fanfare, because I was waiting for my husband to be here with me. He is a member of the Ohio National Guard and currently stationed outside of Baghdad."

By Val. "The people of the United States do not understand how bad the conditions are for our soldiers in Iraq.... When you pick up a pen to write a note to someone to respond to my letter, think of my son who routinely does not have pens to use in Iraq, unless I send them to him. "

By Lietta Ruger. "I will fly my flag for them, Mr President, in respect for them. I will fly it at half staff. Would that you would so order, in the deepest respect, that Americans fly their flags on the Fourth of July at half staff to honor the troops who are doing the job with their very lives."

Dear Mr. President: In today's speech, you stated a few things that just don't make sense to me.

Although Mr. Bush won't see this email I hope someone, somewhere, reads it. Yesterday, when instant messaging my son in Iraq, I learned that for the second time in less than a month he narrowly escaped serious injury when his vehicle was struck by an IED.

By Laura Jane McCarthy. "How specifically is my son serving his country by being part of the occupation of Iraq? What specific freedoms is my son protecting in the US by being part of the occupation of Iraq?"

By SGT Kevin M, Benderman. "The commander in chief is not above the UCMJ, as you would like to believe."

By Cindy Sheehan. "Dear George, You don’t mind if I call you George do you? When you sent me a letter offering your condolences on the death of my son, Spc. Casey Austin Sheehan, in the illegal and unjust war on Iraq, you called me Cindy, so I naturally assume we are on a first name basis."

By Laura McCarthy. "'When you add it up, America is a more secure place because Saddam Hussein is no longer in power' [said Bush]. I'm confused. Exactly what are you adding up and how does that resulting number lead to your conclusion?"

By Carol Korreck. "As I write this letter I feel a certain amount of futility. I received no acknowledgment when I first wrote in October, or with any of my subsequent correspondence. But I realize I am not the only one that was shunned because of conflicting opinions on war with Iraq."

By Laura McCarthy. "Here are the Department of Defense reports for April 7, 2004 listing the soldiers who have died in your war in Iraq. I'm sending this list to you because I believe you probably do not have the time to read this yourself. I check it every morning of every day. Please take a moment to read each name, their ages, where they came from, and how they died. It is a long list, but well worth reading every detail. These are Americans who trusted you and looked to you for leadership. Within a couple months, I will have the privilege of potentially having my own son's name added to the list should he be killed in your war."

By Jessica D. Salamon. "My husband and I will be spending our first anniversary separated by continents and a war fought for reasons that have changed with the rising of each new day. Hopefully, we will get to talk to each other for a few minutes on the phone."

By Fran Hunt. "If this were a war being fought on our soil I would be standing in line, cheering my son for fighting for his country. He is not fighting for his country. He is fighting for you."

By Jessica D. Salamon. "After a lot of effort and insomnia medication, I finally got to sleep last night. I woke up a few times and dreamt about my husband a lot. These days, my dreams are the only place I see him."
