Sorry. Would you believe me if I said it was too long? lol. Okay, how about a formatting error?

Actually I could have sworn I had a picture of the Marine throwing out the pitch in your previous post. He was among the wounded Tommy Franks paid a visit to in Kuwait. I knew it the moment I saw him because I had previously posted his picture with Franks.

I formatted the post and posted but then noticed the first names were completely different. I swear it's him but thought better of posting it with the different first names.

I think the first one of him with General Franks in the hospital is an error by Reuters in recording his name but can't confirm it yet. It was a good picture, he was smiling real big just like in his current picture, glad to have the General visit and the comparison was a joy to see.
