We received this email and
photo from Carole about their
July visitor.
I met with Sgt Stephen Keane,
his wife Carolyn and their son
David,
to give them a gift certificate
to any local restaurant (they
live in Ft. Myers, FL). They
have two other sons who are in
the military, by the way.
It was very touching meeting
them, and I told him and his
wife how much we appreciated his
support proactively in Iraq, and
indirectly with her supporting
him back home. I saw the strain
of worry on her face and knew
there was nothing I could say to
make her feel better about him
going back there. He should be
home for good sometime in
October this year. He also told
me that every Iraqi he speaks to
over there, and there are many
every day - all say THANK YOU to
the American military for being
there and helping them.
Don't you think the liberal
media should air that type of
information instead of showing
only the negative sentiments
which are apparently in the
minority?
Operation Open Arms is a
great concept - thank you. I
think its good for our Vets to
know that there are many people
back home who support them in a
tangible way. I hope word
spreads and more people get
involved. |
