Hey, I did not know that about the American Revolution (your tagline).

I live 12 minutes north of Vacaville (the home of the infamous Sheehan, as you know) and I'm meeting the caravan Monday morning at the offices of the Vacaville Reporter, then following them to Sacramento. Wish I could go all the way to Crawford.

I watched a documentary called "ShootOut" today on the History Channel. It was about the invasion of Fallujah Nov. 2004. Those Marines are awesome!! They deserve all the support we can give them -- all those in the military do! (My son's in the Air Force.)

I thank GOD every day for the sacrifices your family is making in order for my family to be safe and free; all military families.

My one and only child, a senior in high school this year, is a third year JRAFROTC cadet. I am already agonizing her decision to serve her country, BUT, I am so proud of her.

She, unlike so many will be assigned stateside as she had scoliosis surgery and the degree of her curve does not allow for deployment overseas (torture). Her specialty is logistics.

I would love to hear about your son.
