Hi JP.

It is very maddening!!

I watched a special show yesterday about a lady and her Golden Retriever that visit Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio to bring a little happiness to the wounded soldiers.

Here is a short story I found about them.........

• Carol Triesch and Jasmine volunteer in a number of facilities in San Antonio, most
notably Brooke Army Medical Center. There, they work with soldiers returning from Iraq
with burns and amputated limbs. “Carol and Jasmine touch the lives of countless soldiers and their families every day,”
says Gen. Mark A. Graham of Fort Sam Houston, citing their “immeasurable impact in
meeting the needs of the soldiers and comforting broken hearts.”



It was heart wrenching to watch these heroes suffering as they do. I pray for their recovery, we always salute them on the Nascar thread for their bravery. Also pray for the safe return of all those in Iraq and Afghanistan along with the medics who care for them and save so many of their lives.
