Your stories are beginning to make the extraordinary seem ordinary. But, as Tommy Franks.. or someone said, the military is a mere 2% of the population. Most of us don't carry memories that evoke the "veteran's stare."

NO. No apology needed.

You were RIGHT.

GOD bless you and Carlos, and Stan, and ALL our OTHER Vets.(warts and all)

SHAME on those who cannot see past those 'warts', to love, honor, remember what they have sacrificed for US. Shame on those who can only see 'warts' so they can point fingers of judgement.

SHAME on those who enjoy and insist upon their freedoms, while they FORGET the ones who GAVE that to them.

When my dad was hurt...and went into the V.A. Hospital an amazing thing happened.

I gained another couple hundred new 'dads'.

I listened to their stories....and learned more than I can ever repay.

Tommorrow...visit a rest home...or a V.A Hospital....and you will see first hand that the extraordinary is , in those places, very ordinary.

I just write about what I have seen.

Thank You.

America is a wonderful place...and I will go to my grave convinced that no one loves her more than me...but it has 'warts'....and those 'warts'...are well represented by the ones who have paid the price.

To deny that they exist...and to just concentrate on those 'warts'...make us sound like Liberals.

Which is kinda disgusting......

"Almost as good as drag-racing!!!" he was repeating over and over....laughing all the time he said it.

Carlos seems to have inspired others as well. ;-)


Giuseppe Cannella can reach speeds of more than 60mph
