The bus [carrying wounded soldiers back to Walter Reed] stopped part way up the drive and a young soldier on crutches, missing half of his leg but none of his pride or enthusiasm, came to the crowd [of anti-IVAR counter protesters] with his beautiful wife to thank them. He told them, “The guys on the bus asked me to come out and thank every one of you for being here. You mean so much to us. My friend wanted to come out but he is a triple-amputee and couldn’t easily get off the bus. When we pulled around the corner and saw all of you, it was the first time I have really seen him smile since he came back. Thank you.”

Ping to a great article on the Winter Weasels and the patriots who opposed them last weekend.

The stark differences of the pro-troops organizations and the anti-war crowd could not have been any more dramatic this weekend and the impact on our heroes could not be any more obvious.

Outstanding article. Thank you for all that you are doing.
