Anyone who has read Weisskopf's story should be able to appreciate the heroism of our armed forces and veterans. Phillip L. Elbaum Deerfield, Illinois, U.S. I wept when...
...with each other by cell phone several times. But while awaiting his return, Susan dozed off. Just after 1 a.m., the phone startled her awake with the news every parent of a teen dreads. Her son had smashed her '98 Pontiac Grand Am and was in the hospital's trauma unit. Three of the boys in the car had been killed, the fourth injured. Sean, who had been drinking heavily at a party that night (reportedly as much as eight beers in an hour), served two years in juvenile lockup for driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless driving...
