Wow, this is a powerful letter, thanks for posting it! However, I don't think this is the same letter Bobby read at the funeral mass from the veteran who sent Terri the Purple Heart. That one spoke of Purple Hearts being awarded to people killed by enemies of the US, and that Terri was suffering as the direct result of domestic terrorism/judicial homicide. All of us cried at that letter, and I'm weeping anew after reading the one you just posted.

It was good to meet you and FV and phenn and EV and Scoop and the others, just wish we'd had more time to talk. All you fine people, working your hearts out to stop this nightmare from happening... despite the outcome, you ARE heroes, and can walk with pride and clean consciences. Bless you all.

The Deadly Fruit of Complacency

Complacency
The self-satisfied's disease
While 'good men' stand aside
Great evil comes to be
"I hadn't the power to act", they say
"I really would if I could, today!"
But is it really helplessness?
Or love for status and comfort
Keeping them meekly at bay?
Inaction strengthens tyrants
And their iron bars
It's a very short trip
It's not at all far
From euthanasia
To ovens and cattle cars

It was good to meet you and all the freepers. I think I have spring fever this week so I won't be here as often but wanted to reply to your post. fregards, FV

I agree. It was good to meet everyone but there was so little time and so much confusion to talk. I agree with FV, spring fever and want to be outside. Waited all winter for weather like this in New York. Great to be able to be outside without winter jacket and boots. Thanks for the kind words. We all still have much work to do. Terri did not die in vain. She opened the eyes of America and indeed the world
