We should never forget the sacrifices that young men and women have made for our country during times of peace and war. Those who have dawned a uniform and served our country with dedication and honor deserve our unwavering respect and loyalty for the debt we owe for the freedom and security they have won for us. In this vein, we must as a nation remember to care for the needs of returning soldiers who try to intigrate themselves back into "normal" civilian life. Unfortunately, some of those who are the most furvent flag wavers when they push for others to go fight a new war, seem to be less willing to give up some of their own treasure in taxes, to pay for needed programs to help with mental health, VA, and education for those whom we owe an unrepayable debt. I'm sure, based upon the sentiments of your message you would agree, we need to make sure our elected representatives, federal, state and local, remember those who have noblely served us. Also, I would recommend a movie on HBO right now about a famous autistic professor who is an animal behavioral psychologist. The film is titled after the woman who is it's subject, "Temple Grandin". It's on Demand until 3/08/10. She has also written a number of books on the subjects of autism as well as animal behavioral Psychology which I'm are available thorough the local library system. I have read "Animals in Translation: Using the mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior" for a book discussion group in McHenry last year. It was facinating. - Terry R.

We all need to remember that every casualty of war is someone's son, daughter, brother, sister, husband or wife. Foreign policy always has an impact in our hometown. - Michael Alan Bissett Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:17:47 +0100
