My vote.....

I vote for Nate to come home, even if it means he will live in my basement.
Not in Japan, not in Virginia, not in San Diego, and certainly not in either Iraq or Afghanistan.

I vote for him to be out of the dangers of war.I vote that this whole mess be done with, and all the sons and daughters come home. No matter where in the world they are at this time, even if they are in a safe place, I vote them home for their mothers to hold.

I vote to be little again and not have to worry about other people. This isn't a true vote, but it sounds good at times. I wish I could just curl up with my blankie, suck my thumb, and not have to consider what others are doing. I don't want to have to worry about safety, or dangers. I want to be able to forget it all in a good story, and not have it have a true impact in another person's life.
