Description

To this day, my heart tightens when I think of what Kristen Nelson is going through. And I can’t stop feeling angry for all the lives that are lost over there. I can’t quite see the reason for all the blood v-being spilled. I understand the duty of soldiers to put their lives on the line. I just don’t understand the carelessness of some politicians to be sending them and keep them in foreign lands for questionable motives.

Richard “Ricky” Nelson’s widow, Kristen, cries with her parents in law Lennie and Susan Nelson during a memorial for her husband in front of Christian Life School, from where they both graduated. Nelson, 23, was killed by a roadside bomb. Hundreds of students joined family and friends to honor his memory.
