That’s how my close friend Lt.?Col. Ehab Hashem Moshen was killed recently by the Islamic State near Fallujah — refighting a battle in Iraq that the Marine Corps fought a decade ago.

U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton, the first-term Democrat from Salem and veteran of the Iraq War, has endeared himself to national anti-gun activists after taking a hard line against the sale of semiautomatic weapons to civilians.

Three House Democrats are calling on Secretary of State John Kerry to meet the administration's stated goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. before October. "This need has never been more urgent. As a result of the Syrian civil war, more than 400,000 civilians have been killed, and more than 4.8 million people have been forced to flee their homes," wrote Reps. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) in a Monday letter.
