1. This is so sad.

We have a peace vigil twice a week and many on the line think we should stop because Obama won. We have Vets who stop by and tell us how great the country treats them and that we are an embarrassment to the troops. I guess some of these brave soldiers just fall through the cracks. Thanks for posting this. peace, kim

3. I think that is a good benchmark.

I hope we live to see the day.
