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."

Their son, Staff Sgt. Sean Landrus was killed near Fallujah in January. They believe the president misled the country about the reasons for invading Iraq and that their son died for nothing.

“Yes I do feel lied to because they kept saying there’s mass destruction and nobody’s found anything yet,” father Ken Landrus said.

Sean Landrus also left behind a wife and three young children. His youngest daughter, Kennedy, was born just before Sean left to serve inside Iraq.
