Hey, you're posts are ALL THE MORE REASON for people to post and ALL THE MORE REASON to donate. The thread has nothing to do with a football MB thread but then 150,000+ people being killed by freak waves have nothing to do with everyday life normally.

Crunch, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I was at the Fins-Ravens game today and the Red Cross was collecting cash outside the stadium. I was happy to donate as were many others; the total collected was $75,000 just at one stadium (the Ravens kicked in $25,000). I hope other teams did the same today.

Your posts should not be deleted. I like to think of all FH'ers as 'family' and the enormity of what happened transcends football by leaps and bounds. You needed to share your experience and you should feel like it's okay to do it here. God speed to your cousin (hopefully with a safe return).

Thanks for your donations and prayers.

I am sad to report her body was found in a morgue.My uncle had given up hope of finding her so at least this gives some closure to the tragedy.The family will be giving her a proper funeral.

Please donate whatever you can to help the survivors.There are approx.150.000 people reported as casualties,millions have been left homeless and have lost all of their possesions.Many are in danger of starvation and contracting diseases.These numbers are bound to go up as statistics are compiled.

She was oblivious to the armor shortage on the humvee convoys. You're 100% right about this with some people. They use it to argue for the election and when it's done it's done. Some people are just plain ignorant. I asked her last week if she had any knowledge of the mortar that hit the American mess hall killing over 20 troops.....I recieved a blank stare. My point is that there are a few people who are completely out of touch with the situation in Iraq. Even i'm not as informed as I think i'd like to be. I think that it is important for the American public to see the number of caskets that arrive stateside with our nations flag drapped over them. When you actually see the number of dead in a tangible form it gives amazing perspective. Like the fact that the U.S. lost a grand total of 28,686 men on Iwo Jima. To me each one of those are my 4 friends serving in Iraq and my best friend who is in the Marines. The Japanese lost approximately 20,000 troops at Iwo Jima. Sorry for dragging on but for some people to be completely unaware of 150,000 deaths is shocking. Then there are some who just see it as a figure. Great point Terry.

Why must you people (Yes, Terry included) turn this thread into a political debate?

This thread was about loss of life, not shortage of armor and other things.

Back on to subject. My heart goes out to the families of anyone who experienced this tragic event or lost anyone to it. The picture of dead children being carried by their parent has just simply ripped my heart out.

I will not even try to pretend I grasp what has happened there and what those people went through.
