"That's Seth -- the big, obnoxious, beautiful smile that I spent 5,000 dollars on -- worth every penny. That's who I lost -- my buddy, my pal, my right arm. He meant the world to me and I lost him for nothing. Absolutely, positively, nothing." - SUE NIEDERER

SUE NIEDERER wasn't an activist until she lost her son Seth, who was killed in Iraq in February 2004. Sue believes her son died needlessly: he wasn't adequately trained to disarm the bomb that killed him, he died in a war that should never have started. After his death, Sue joined Military Families Speak Out and she now lifts her voice against the war in front of average Americans ... and Laura Bush.

    More About Sue Niederer

Sue Niederer is a high school substitute teacher who lives in Pennington, New Jersey.  Prior to the war she, like many Americans, was not particularly active in political issues.  Her life was focused on her work and the role she considered most important… being Seth Dvorin’s mother.  Only with her son’s involvement in the war did Sue become an activist.  Now, both tragically and passionately, she is an outspoken advocate for Gold Star Families Speak Out an organization of people who have lost family members in the war.  Sue has turned her grief into action speaking in colleges, high schools and to the media against the deceptive practices of military recruiters.  She tries to warn impressionable young people and their families that promises of bonuses, health care and college expenses are not what they seem, in hopes that they will be spared the fate of her son for whom she continues to work as…. a mom.
