Hey Everyone...

After the last couple of days my emotions have been through the roof. It sickens me everytime I hear what our politicians are doing and everytime I read about another crime by an illegal. I can't explain it, but it really tears me apart and am even teased at work about it. They know how to rattly my cage

Anyway, I took off to the store and was thinking about some of the good in this country. I was in the military for 6 years and was involved in multiple conflicts. I am by know means a war hero. But, I feel a very strong kinship with those in the armed services.

I am an avid cyclist and love to get out on the bicycle. Last summer I had the chance to ride with some soldiers across the Midwest. What a great experience it was. It was a lesson in the human spirit and determination. One genteleman who had lost his legs had to pedal with is arms uphill...These guys never ever gave up. The war in Iraq had left them with every opportunity to make an excuse and feel sorry for themselves, but they instead, went to conquer once again and to help their brethren. The human will is huge!!
