SIERRA VISTA, Ariz. - The family of Robert Unruh brought his cremated remains to his final resting place Friday, in the shadows of the Huachuca mountains, southeast of Tucson.

But this was a goodbye not only to one family member but two. Unruh's mother, 45-year-old Karen Wahrer, died one week after learning her son was killed in action.

"God took him because he had a job to do and the job was so tough that his mom had to go along with him," says husband and father Dennis Wahrer.

Robert Unruh, troubled by the attacks of 9/11, enlisted as three generations of his family had done. The 25-year-old combat engineer was in Iraq less than a month when his unit took on small arms fire and he was fatally wounded.

1. Think of The Iraqi Moms

losing tiny babies, toddlers, school aged children to American bombs. War in Iraq results in MANY tragedies.

2. Tres Triste!

4. when the war first started

and when the 1060 now dead soldiers were still alive, the father of one of the first to die was immediatly surrounded by media whores. I will never forget that sobbing black man holding up his sons picture and wailing "Take a gooood look, George Bush...You killed my only son, my only son is gone" I remember wondering how many more will die. The cheerleading war whores were shocked: You mean you don't support our president???!!! The grieving father was muffled, big time. These grieving families are still being muffled, and hidden away.

5. That is one of the reasons Bush never wants to appear at the

funerals of soldiers or even visit the wounded at Walter Reed or
the hospital for the soldiers in Germany. He may be confronted by the families and his carefully constructed image as a resolute leader will come apart.We can't have that, can we?
