To: Kathy in Alaska

Thank you Kathy, our thoughts and prayers are constantly on those serving our country during this crucial election. My heart is heavy at how shabbily they have been treated over the years, not by their Commander-in-Chief, who has stood by them without wavering, without hesitation always encouraging them forward, always forward, but by others who should be so ashamed that they not show their faces in public.

Think of their amazing accomplishments since 9/11 and to this day they continue VOLUNTEERING, leaving many of us speechless, there are no words sufficient to describe such dedication and love of country.

And the wounded soldiers that we know who say, “I’d go back in a heartbeat if they would let me...”. They wish nothing more than to be part of a successful campaign that they were not able to complete.

Well, it is up to us to continue to support them whenever, however needed and we will. I guess in the big picture we represent a small segment of society but by God, it’s the BEST segment, I’ll stand with these men and women until my last days, I will pipe those that passed before us on 11/11/08 @ 11AM at the cemetery in our little town, “Mansions of the Lord”.
