I was at Walter Reed today and can verify what Joe Galloway has said. I saw many young soldiers with artificial limbs walking around with huge smiles on their faces. I visited two soldiers who were on that Chinook that was shot down 4 weeks ago in Iraq and they lost many of their buddies. Spec. Chad Baetke and Sgt. Gerald Santos are part of FReeper mystery-ak's husband, 1st Sgt Mike's unit, they suffered severe injuries and when this stranger came to pay them a visit, they wanted to thank me, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, I told them that myself and the entire country thanks THEM. These guys are heroes of the first order and I will never forget this visit today and I plan to go back at least once a week.

Before you retire this evening, please pray for the injured of this war, we hear very little about them, but they will have to live with these injuries for the rest of their lives and they need our prayers.
