Not sure where the reference to me comes in.

But yeah, let's continue to isolate the American public from what's actually happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. Soldier deaths are just a number on tv now anyway that the pubic is numb to.

Something like this furthers my deepest debts to those who make the ultimate commitment, and in many cases, the ultimate sacrifice.

I met a young veteran (maybe 28 years old). He played 18 holes in a Pro/Am tournament. Seems unremarkable at first... until you look down and see he lost both legs to an IED and played better golf than I'd ever dream to be able to play.
