Anywhoooooo....you know where to find me if you should need help. <BR/><BR/>Be careful straddling a barbwire fence.

I appreciate that.I will...Thank you, streetsweeper. I appreciate that.<BR/><BR/>I will always help out a fellow servicemember or former servicemember in need, no matter what their political affiliation. That stuff doesn't really matter. What matters is that we are brothers (and yes, sisters) forever. <BR/><BR/>Our Congress did and has let us down, and that's on both sides of the house. Unfortunately, it's not politically convenient for them to prioritize our soldiers unless they're stumping for themselves. That's why you see no attention to the VA, because it /is/ a nonpartisan issue. Or should be.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully all of us can keep holding their feet to the fire. <BR/><BR/>Did you watch/see the VA panel, by the way? Some of it was heartbreaking. There's also someone from the pro-war side I'd like to give some props to on that note, but I won't unless he publicly outs himself.Army Sergeanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11353058340579444160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656343015537448777.post-16069709234041815622008-03-29T20:47:00.000-04:002008-03-29T20:47:00.000-04:00Yes ma'am...some of us knew you are a woman. A dam...Yes ma'am...some of us knew you are a woman. A damn good one at that. I wish you all the luck in the world. Continue helping your fellow soldier & give the VA pure hell. <BR/><BR/>Just remember it is our Congress that let us down, not our brave men & women. If you ever get in a nine line bind & need a helping hand holler. <BR/><BR/>You know where to find me. I'll glady come on like the 7th Cav Reg plus.... ;) <BR/><BR/>Take care,Sergeant.

I also spent more time at WS reflecting on what I had done in Iraq than I did while I was in Iraq. It turns out that I needed to do that, and my testimony (sorry, folks, I wasn't on one of the panels) wasn't even about anything I had done personally. <BR/><BR/>That was a powerful event. It's a pity that nobody heard about it unless they were already peace movement types. Still, the videos are getting around and eventually people will catch on.ILOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15621058886208452833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3656343015537448777.post-14208962318226272572008-03-25T00:44:00.000-04:002008-03-25T00:44:00.000-04:00I knew you were female.
