Ok, so I know I haven't seen you yet, but I know you finally made it and I am so glad. I have read about how arduous the journey out of hell can be http://afghanistanshrugged.com/2009/02/09/the-land-that-war-forgot.aspx and I am just so glad your home now. We can't wait to come to Idaho for a visit.
I know that this isn't my normal thing, but I have heard about Osama's ideas on Vets and insurance. I am deeply disturbed and ashamed that our country could even entertain such and idea. If you don't know what I am talking about go to http://afghanistanshrugged.com/2009/03/18/for-wounds-suffered-purple-heart-and-a-bill.aspx . I actually heard about this on the news before I read this on the blog. I will be contacting my goverment officials to let them know that it is not ok to do anything but bluntly reject anything like this ever.
I don't consider myself especially involved in politics, but this is outrageous. I have a deep respect and appreciation for those who put themselves in harms way for our benifit. I have the same respect for their families who sacrifice, and risk so much.
Anyway, I hope that in our efforts to get out of this cruddy economy, we do not loose all that is right and good. Can't wait to see you April, and Pat. Miss you all.
