Parents of troops in Iraq fight to get them home

WASHINGTON – "I don’t know how much more support you can give the troops than your one and only son," said McMahon, a Herndon lawyer who fought in Vietnam with an Army infantry unit. His son, Collin, 26, a member of the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment, served in Iraq in the spring and may be sent again, he said.

McMahon, 58, was one of a dozen military family members and veterans who appeared yesterday at a news conference in Washington launching "Bring Them Home Now," a national campaign to return to their home bases the 150,000 U.S. troops serving in Iraq.
