In Geauga County, anger and frustration over the death of a young soldier inside Iraq has prompted one family to send a personal message to President Bush. Ken and Betty Landrus have put up a large sign outside their home near Thompson, Ohio that is sharply critical of the Bush administration. The sign reads "Thanks Mr. Bush for the death of our son." Read the full story and see images of the sign.
