Pass it on to the VA, nice story Sunday night about the soldier with hooks for arms, blown off in a roadside bomb incident, denied benefits because they said it wasn't "service connected" He got his congressman from Illinois to grant him benefits. What an advertisement for more young people to join, after really finding out how they treat vets when they come home. There's also an ongoing series on CNN..."broken government" veterans denied benefits.

I think it's great to always have that reminder to do whatever we can to send our thanks to those serving in deployment. Always too remember those serving stateside. Isn't it great to see the youth that are still intersted in joining and serving? My pseudo-niece (she's my best friend of 26 years niece) just finished U.S. Navy basic training in Great Lakes, Ill. we are so proud of her. Quite a decision for an 18 year old young lady to make!
