In
light of the rising death toll of US troops in Iraq, US military
families have been acting against putting their loved ones in
danger in a country where resistance against the US presence has
gained momentum.
Jeri
L. Reed, a PhD candidate in history at the University of
Oklahoma, is the mother of Cody, 21, a US soldier located at the
Abu Gharib prison on the outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq. Jeri and
her daughter-in-law (Cody’s wife) Sara Camacho, a clerical
worker, were the guests of a live dialogue at IslamOnline on
the rising death toll of US troops in Iraq.
Jeri
L. Reed, Cody’s mother, is a member of Military
Families Speak Out, a group of families with loved ones
in the military who have opposed the invasion and occupation of
Iraq.
