I hope those brave kids in Iraq, Afghanistan, or ANY soldiers whos tours of duty throughout this lousy world are coming to an end, will ALL receive that handshake at whatever airport they fly back into.




Some need more than a handshake. Excerpt from an email newsletter that I received from my US Senator, Chris Dodd today:
"Equally inexcusable has been the Administration's treatment of our troops once they return from battle -- specifically those who require medical care. Last year, the Administration fell over $1 billion short in providing the Veterans Administration with resources needed to care for the medical needs of soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. In response, earlier this year I offered legislation on the Senate Floor to ensure that our veterans are getting the medical attention they need and deserve. While this measure was defeated along party lines, I intend to continue to press for the best care for those who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security."

"Eric Von Zipper will return!"
