Nice column by a college freshman - giving us more hope for the future (who happens to be my son!)

Very good!

By the way, here is what Teresa is doing:

When Teresa Heinz-Kerry arrived, she handed me a pin that read in the center:
“Asses of Evil”
with “Bush”, “Cheney”, “Rumsfeld” and “Ashcroft” surrounding it.

Is Kerry really a Vietnam War hero? That is the first I have heard of that. Where has our great media been in not reporting this fact?

[MEG33]

Great article.I'll bet he has great parents...;)

Congratulations!

[Miss Marple]

This is your son? You should be very proud!

I think this brings up a great point. If you listen to the media, you would think that the only person who served in Viet Nam who is in public service is John Kerry. Tom Ridge was an enlisted man and was also wounded, I believe. Powell and McCain's records are more well known. But the media ignores all of it to concentrate on Kerry.

Please tell your son I appreciate his writing!

Congratulations Captain! Just when we least expect it, our son's and daughters do us proud. You raised him well!
