My dear Lady.

It would be awfully hard to expand upon or improve upon what my brothers have said above.

So, I won't even try...except to say "THANK YOU" from the bottom of my heart for your post.

May God Bless and keep you and yours always.

I am blessed this day for having to opportunity to come to know each of you. And I thank God for this moment in time that we may all share the journey together.
I cannot know your pain, but I can be there in support to let you know that I know in my heart that you are good and decent human beings, with hopes and dreams. You are not the monsters that the media made you to be. You are not the pariah that society tried to convince us that you were.

You are my heroes, each of you. Not because you fought in a nasty vile war, but because you have the courage to keep going. You have such an impact on all our lives just for living your own.

I salute you and thank you.

DL : ( sorry... calling you Dragon anything just doesn't seem right )

If you didn't know about or haven't read this book, I think you would enjoy it. Just spend 30 mins in the bookstore with it and you will see what I mean.

Although somewhat belatedly, I'd also like to extend my gratitude to you for the tender eloquence you expressed. Make no apology for having compassion. Offer no excuse for being sensitive. Accept no disdain for heart-felt patriotism.

Default Great Thread!

I guess the reason I hadn`t read it before today is the title,and knowing that I wouldn`t have the answer.
Kaetlyn-my little girl is Kate-Lynn-,Thank you,and God Bless You!
