May God bless him.
Brig. Gen. Martin Dempsey, the commander of the 1st Armored Division, carries a small deck of laminated cards in his pocket.
Each of the 41 cards carries a photo and a name of one of his soldiers who's died in Iraq. The back of each card carries the names of that soldier's wife and children; where they live and their street address.
Those cards lend purpose to everything he does and remind him daily of the cost of war and who pays the price.
Like any war, this one has its moments.
