Pfc. Joshua Sparling
Many of you will remember the story of Pfc. Joshua Sparling, the wounded soldier who received a disgusting death-wish greeting card in December while hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Hospital. Sean Hannity has kept close contact with Sparling and interviewed him yesterday about his condition. Sad news:
Sparling's leg will have to be amputated below the knee--but he wants to "get back to [Fort Bragg] and "jump right back in his unit (the 82nd Airborne)." We are so fortunate to have men like Pfc. Sparling.
I've uploaded the audio. Listen here (thanks to reader Tony J.).
Landry's Life has photos of her recent visit with Pfc. Sparling at Walter Reed.
Keep him in your prayers.

Can anyone post the picture of the scumbag who sent the letter again? What a toolbox - and ugly too.

In the interview Joshua has some choice words for the terrorist in North Carolina who ran over the students and for the teacher in Colorado, Jay Bennish, who compared the American flag to the nazi flag. Joshua also mentions that for the first time he gets to go home to Michigan, for on month. He sounded very happy about that.

He doesn't need the leg anyway. Prosthetics are advanced and getting better. Without the leg, he is still ten times the man of most men. He can do anything he wants with the rest of his life. The best of his life is still to come for this brave young man. I see nothing but good coming from this man's life.
Godspeed to you son. Your money is no good in my town.

God bless Joshua. May all go well with his surgery, and may he return to a normal lifestyle soon. What is amazing is that he must keep this halo device attached to his left leg for about another nine months so that bone growth below his knee can keep progressing before they perform the amputation. Joshua said that he is in a lot of pain each day.
One can only hope their sons and daughters grow up to be as courageous and patriotic as Joshua Sparling.

The letter.
The piece of filth who wrote it.

I have some recent photos, too. But my chest is still sore from all the thumping yesterday (bad inside joke), so I won't post them.

What is it about Malkin I don't like? I agree with most everything she writes and says...maybe it's the way she writes and says it, I don't know...does anyone else know what I'm saying?
