This Weeks Post Was Suggested By Greta

This weeks post is a little different from the norm. It's honoring the 13 Men and Women who were awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal. People like George J. Weiss Jr. A World War II veteran who has made it his mission to provide military honors to deceased veterans at Fort Snelling National Cemetery in Minneapolis. And Susan Retik who, after she lost her husband on September 11, 2001, started an organization called Beyond the 11th to help women in Afghanistan. And the person Greta wanted to honor. MaryAnn Phillips of Soldiers' Angels Germany who has made it her mission to help wounded service Men and Woman medevaced to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center. You can read about MaryAnn Phillips's nomination here.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

I am doing good thank God

Well to say the least it is just great to be home and sleeping in my won bed after so long. I don't seem to be having any problems worh speaking of. I am glad to be able to get back on the internet. Had almot 2000 emails to read and clean up, most as you all know was junk, to a few from friends and I thank them. I am not suppose to drive for 6 months or drink (damn) I can live with that though. Feels realy strange to be retired and not have to get up in the morning. I will need to find something to do though. It's going on 2 months I have been out of work, and so far so good, only because most of the time I sleep. Guess that is a side effect of having our head opened up or it could be the meds I have to take, who knows, but getting better day by day. Thanks to those of ou who left me comments re my time in hospital, it ment a lot to me. Thaks.

Lt. Dan Cnossen


Standing on his own legs, Lt. Dan Cnossen used to be about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. Now on his two mechanical legs, he is roughly the same height.

Somehow, though, he seems to stand taller.

That isn't what the Topeka man would say. But while this is his story, it is often his mother's telling, and she can't believe how far he has come. His latest feat came late last month when he walked a six-mile race on his prosthetic legs.

You can read the rest of Lt. Cnossen's story here.
