I loved making these origami paper cranes when I was a child. I was taught by Japanese friend of the family when we were stationed in Japan. It's a small, calming, creative action, taking a piece of paper and transforming it into something else.
I have switched how to show my support at our home now, relying on yellow ribbons to more clearly state the concerns. Flying the flag at our home is still an honorable thing to do and I do, however, it is coming more and more to mean that I connect myself with those who think our soldiers ought to be there in Iraq...and I don't think they should be there. I don't feel that flying the flag is sending the message I want to send just now. I want them home...
'And Should We Die' is a historical novel, written by Arthur Ruger, with a compassionate look at a little known tragedy in American pioneer history; the Willie-Martin handcart trek (the last of the handcart pilgrimages) with incredulous hardships that took so many lives. A novel about faith and courage in the Old American West.
