Then, on little ol' CHR I get to read this latest from your brother, no headlines, no reporters, no swooning fans, no phonies. Seems backward somehow. I'm glad you put that up, thanks.
I can't even turn the TV to the news anymore because it is all taken up with celebrities "problems" and other garbage that isn't really pertinent news. I mean when should Britney Spears' going back to rehab take precedence over things like what stovens posted. I guess it's all just for ratings these days.

Thank you stovens for posting that. It's the most real news I've heard about what's going on over there since I got a letter from my buddies about a month ago. It's been a year since I was there last and I can still remember sticking a needle in my arm so I could donate blood for a little Iraqi boy who was wounded by and IED meant for our convoy. He lived thanks to several of us who donated blood for him the night we took him to our aid station. Your brother is one among many other true heroes.

When people ask me "Why do you do it?" The only answer I can really give them is "It's my job, and I do it so you don't have to." Even if you don't support the war does not mean that you don't have to support our troops.
