This is a very relivant editorial and Thank's for sharing it with us!
Like the fun chain letters, I think by this time tomorow it will have exploded, epotentionally on the web and it started here from You, a person I am in complete awe of and HONORED to be a member of your extended Family, Our prayers and American Technology got you home safe and it's the same that will get us through this thing together,Felling very helpless because I can't donate blood, I sent off a food package and a check this morning and will be rallying Naples to contribute to the cause, everyone in our family that can do the same.
My first e-mail goes to Naples Daily News's editor!
I've3 spent the night dreaming of the leeches and dense jungles of Nam, I'm feeling better today on that front and a special THANKS to all of you that wrote supportive notes to me in my time of crisis,still battling the demon but in control, I Love each and everyone of you, I don't advocate Bombing the countries that harbor these people rather seeking help in seeing that they have their day in court and pay the fair price for what they have done!
To turn around and launch missles or bomb a country that would kill many innocent people is the same thing that happened here and not the correct action to take at all, I'm just thankful that they didn't release any chemical or biological agents in this process! I wish I was a educated man so I could quote some famous historians words but I'm not and common sense tells me that we would be hippocrits to turn around and perpatrate the same acts on someone else, Be safe and help however you can, Blessed are we that have such a sharing,caring Family to support us in our times of need, Thank you DJ for your Vission and forthought in starting this place!
