This is true but what Cruz is doing is still a great thing. He is talking and talking and it is still worth listening to. That’s hard to achieve in my estimation.

just yesterday i had occasion to spend a few minutes with a beautiful man, about 23/24, and without
a doubt he is (was) one of our brave warriors.

he was in a wheelchair and accompanied by a
friend-—there is no way for him to be out in
public alone.

he was missing both legs above the knees and
one arm at the shoulder. the hand on his remaining arm was missing either 2 or 3 fingers.

regardless, he smiled throughout our short encounter and was pleasant and upbeat.

i did not dare to ask about his loss but decided instead
that just treating him exactly like everyone else,
might be “thank you” enough.

if i have the opportunity to see him again, and maybe develop some rappor, perhaps i’ll feel
like he’ll be OK with sharing more information
and allow me to say thank you.

believe me, it was incredibly humbling.

i especially remembered him in my prayers last night
along with all our willing warriors.
