As a Disabled Vet, this disgusts me to my core. What bothers me more is that this isn't screaming from the headlines of every newspaper and news program in the country. Every day more and more benefits are being stripped from Vets, disabled and other-wise. More and more Veteran facilities are being shut down or downsized to save money. We as a society need to make it clear that this type of behavior on the part of the Government will not be tolerated. Please take the time to go to the IAVA website and sign the petition. And on a lighter note.... Congratulations Sam! I just know you'll be talking when I see you next, keep up the great work and progress. I can't wait to get out there and see you and Erin! Hope you had a great Birthday Erin, you deserve it! It is atrocious that Iraq and Afghanistan injured Vets are being deprived if their bonuses and having them taken back.

Wish I could pop down there to say hi, but maybe soon. I wanted you to know that we're praying for Sam and for you often. There is a phrase used at my church a lot, "The Victory is Worth the Fight!" I am so grateful that Sam has you and your faith by his side every day. Love you guys. Also, it really touched me to see you with Sam. I wanted to tell you that I really loved all of the handshakes/gestures you do with him - from "I love you" & "knuckles" to "live long and prosper" too funny. : ) And I swear he was trying to raise an eyebrow at me. Have a great weekend. HUGS Courtney PS - I created a blog for my little family (keep friends/family up-to-date on my kids' happenings & pics) and in November I shared some pics from when I was down there - one of you (the cute one), a couple of funny eating pics and some from the house you're staying in. If you don't want any of them published in my blog, let me know and I'll take em out. : ) Happy Birthday Erin!!! Wish I could pop down there to say hi, but maybe soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIN!! Great news that Sam is doing well in speech therapy and that he's put the 2lbs back!! Even better news that his infection is gone. It must have been so wonderful to see Doc, I hope you let him know that there are so many of us out here who thank him, Kilo Battery and each and every hero out there for everything that they do and sacrifice for us every day. Wish I could give him (all of them!!) a hug, maybe you can give them one for me next time you see them?? Hope you all have a nice weekend. Please know that prayers, support and loads of Angel Hugs come your way each and every day and they always will. God bless you Sam, Erin and Family - keep up the great work. You CAN do it Sam, you WILL do it, and you ARE doing it!! May God give you all the peace, comfort and strength that you need every day. - Kris, a Soldier's Angel from RI Hi Sam, Erin and Family!
