Marty - I kept thinking while watching " Restrepto" what keeps them from 
being killed just like one of the soldiers they are documenting?  Nothing is 
the answer.  At these times I wonder was their loss worth what they brought 
to us?  I don't for a minute doubt their dedication but I'm struggling today 
with where is the balance.

Saddened here in Denver
