Now that it has been reported that you have quit as the visible face of the peace movement, I would like to thank you for who you are and all you have done.

You have put an intelligent, human face on the war and its costs for the American people, though many have objected to it. You have put integrity above party, and courageously told truth to power.

Your actions have helped to shift the nation's opinions against the war. You have accomplished so much, with such grace and dignity.

You have truly honored the memory of your son. Every genuine patriot has nothing but respect and admiration for you.
