My friend Lew Waters who writes Right in a Left World has written a superior post on the American Veteran. A sample:
They come down from the mountains. They come from the cities of the North and the Bayous of the South. They leave the beaches of California and Florida. North, South, East and West, they leave the comfort of their homes and loved ones to volunteer for America. Young and older, Black, White, Brown, Red and Yellow skinned, historically male, but now female too, they come with no desire of praise or large salaries, but a desire only to see America remain the freest nation on the planet and to see others share in the freedoms we do.Be sure and read it all.
Not all face battle, but many do. Some pay the ultimate sacrifice and end up forgotten by all but family, loved ones and maybe those that sent them. Some never return, lost forever, their fate unknown to all who know and love them.
Others return wounded, broken in body or mind. They may face a life of scorn by the very ones they were protecting. All too often those who wish to use them to further political agendas and who could care less about them use them as political props. They are looked upon as victims instead of as the heroes and patriots they really are.
Thanks Lew, this veteran appreciates this more than you can know.

an upset win on Tuesday in a special election to represent women’s chef coats conservative upstate New York congressional district. Hochul defeated Republican Jane Corwin in a three-way race that also included self-described Tea Party candidate Jack Davis. The outcome did not affect Republican control of the chef coats House of Representatives."Tonight the voters were willing to look beyond the political labels and vote for a
person, and vote for aprons message that they believe in," Hochul told cheering supporters minutes after taking a phone call from Corwin, a state assemblywoman."We can balance the budget the right way, and not on the
backs of our seniors," said Hochul, the Erie County clerk. "We had the issues on our side."Once expected to be a Republican landslide, the special fleece blankets congressional election tightened in the final days, with a
spotlight trained on the national debate over the budget deficit, spending and Medicare -- the government-run healthcare program for the elderly.
