Widow urges President Bush to stay the course

As is his usual custom, President Bush met with the families of fallen soldiers prior to his speech at Ft. Bragg this past Tuesday, as reported here. Crystal Owen, the widow of Staff Sgt. Mike Owen gave the President a bracelet engraved with her husbands name, and that of Cpl. John Santos, who were both killed on the same day in Iraq. As she presented President Bush with the bracelet, she urged him to stay the course and not let the 1700 plus deaths in Iraq be in vain. The President wore the bracelet throughout his address to the nation.
