Man whoever said 'just another drunk Indian' was lucky I wasn't there. Last night on Extreme Makeover they built a veteran's affairs building on the Navajo res. Watching that show required more tissue than usual!

We watched that show as well. It was a wonderful thing to watch. ABC did more for veterans and their families than most of the egocentric windbags in DC do in a year.

Too many people who could help salute these heroes spend more on body piercings, Bling, Bail, and Booze, than most state veterans budgets. Kids grow up with skewed vision with regard to values.
At Leo High School, a Catholic school in the inner city, the kids honor Veterans, Police, Firemen, and Postal workers every November. Sports figures are asked to particpate and even make a contribution - too busy and not in the Bling budget.

Wasn't that an amazing segment? I've never cried so much in my TV watchin' life. All those veterans and Lori's family--just great!
