Link to video and interview.
Moving video of John House's mother reading letter from her son, Petty Officer 3rd Class John D. House, age 28, who was killed in a helicopter crash near Ar Rutbah, Iraq.
Also, and interview with John House's widow:
"I completely support the troops and always have, and always will. However, I am concerned with President Bush lying to our troops about our mission in Iraq and why we are in Iraq in the first place. Personally, I wouldn't want my son to join ... although it is very honorable, and I am so proud of my husband and all of the service members ... I just believe that our troops aren't given proper equipment, training or preparation for war, nor the truth about why we are at war."
