You are a great American!!!<br><br>I am a new soldier in the Army National Guard (Airborne 11 Bravo Hoo Ahh!!!) and am gearing up for my first deployment to Iraq at the end of this summer with the Washington National Guard. I have recently had a book published called “Homeless Across America.” It is my story of a trip I took last summer before going to boot camp at Fort Benning Georgia. I had actually lost my house as a result of a nasty divorce and I decided that with the time I had before leaving for my training I would drive a loop around the country and see what it was I, and you were fighting for. I can attest that after finishing my journey I was even more confident that I had made the right choice to join your ranks and as Toby says beside my brothers and my sisters proudly make a stand!!! If you feel so inclined please check out my blog at <a href='http://homelessacrossamerica.blogspot.com/' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://homelessacrossamerica.blo...a.blogspot.com/</a>  Again, thank you for your service and thank you for going before me. May God bless you and God Bless America!!!!!<br /><span class=\"byline\">           kevin | 05.22.08 - 2:41 pm | <a href=\"#395569\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"399845\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=257eda8b691d778f05a2f165e7b23afb&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />May God bless you and my uncle as each of you defend our freedom.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           va loan | <a href=\"http://www.onlinevaservices.com/purchase.html\" title=\"http://www.onlinevaservices.com/purchase.html\">Homepage</a> | 07.22.08 - 11:37 pm | <a href=\"#399845\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"400415\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=00544077f83e55611770025212827cab&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Thank you for your service and thank you for blogging!<br>Godspeed!<br>~AirmanMom<br /><span class=\"byline\">           AirmanMom | <a href=\"http://airmanmom.blogspot.com/\" title=\"http://airmanmom.blogspot.com/\">Homepage</a> | 07.31.08 - 12:38 am | <a href=\"#400415\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"401023\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ece3fcd587c0bfe33583de58100370e6&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Once every couple weeks, once every couple months....potato, potahto.. <img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/smileys/clin_oeil.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" /><br /><span class=\"byline\">           ArmySergeant | <a href=\"http://activedutypatriot.blogspot.com\" title=\"http://activedutypatriot.blogspot.com\">Homepage</a> | 08.08.08 - 9:33 am | <a href=\"#401023\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"403293\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=728de6156fe2cfce8c17f0bf8e4a1288&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Hi <br>You have a good blog.<br>Please visit my fun blog on:<br>         <a href='http://www.soldierfun.blogspot.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.soldierfun.blogspot.com</a><br>Be happy.<br /><span class=\"byline\">           soldierfun | 09.06.08 - 4:20 am | <a href=\"#403293\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr><td class=\"MessageCell\">    <a name=\"418754\"></a>        <p><img src=\"http://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=ddabff7b52bff068e3e21d7f655a82ab&amp;default=http%3A%2F%2Fec1.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FG%2F01%2Fx-locale%2Fcommon%2Ftransparent-pixel.gif&amp;rating=PG&amp;size=32\" alt=\"Gravatar\" title=\"Gravatar\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: right;\" class=\"gravatar\" />Greetings,<br><br>I found your blog from a link on MilBlogging.com, and wanted to congratulate you for building a very nice site. Our site, MesotheliomaHelp.Net, has just launched a new part of our website that contains information for military personnel who may have been exposed to Asbestos on ships or in shipyards. This information is located at <a href='http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/navy-maritime-ships-asbestos.html' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>http://www.mesotheliomahelp.net/...s-asbestos.html</a> if you want to check it out. I would like to inquire about getting a link to MesotheliomaHelp.Net placed on your blog, to help spread the word out there to the military community about this terrible disease. Please feel free to email me if you are interested, and I can forward the details to you. If not, I thank you, and appreciate your service to our country.<br><br>Sincerely,<br>Anthony Newman<br>MesotheliomaHelp.Net<br /><span class=\"byline\">           Newman | 04.07.09 - 9:09 am | <a href=\"#418754\" title=\"Link to this comment\">#</a></span></p><hr /></td></tr><tr>    <td class=\"InputCell\">                  <br /><div style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 278px;\"><a href=\"http://www.cnet.com/html/ww/100/2009/poll/infrastructure.html?tag=mncol\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://www.haloscan.com/images/webwarebanner.png\" width=\"278\" height=\"60\" border=\"0\"/></a></div><br /><div id=\"newcomment\"></div><form method=\"post\" name=\"addComment\" action=\"http://www.haloscan.com/comments/sstrunks150/1316454679929338062/\" target=\"_self\">        <p>    Name: <br />          <input name=\"name\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Email:<br />          <input name=\"email\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          URL: <br />          <input name=\"url\" type=\"text\" size=\"38\" value=\"\" /><br />          Comment:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"javascript:emo_pop()\" title=\"Smiley and tag help\" target=\"_self\">?</a>&nbsp;<br />          <textarea name=\"addMessage\" rows=\"12\" cols=\"38\"></textarea><br /><input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"subscribe\" id=\"subscribe\" value=\"1\" /><label for=\"subscribe\">Notify me of followup comments via email</label>        </p>        <p class=\"PSubmit\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Publish\" style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />&nbsp;<input name=\"previewMessage\" type=\"submit\" value=\"Preview\" class=\"SubmitButton\" />        </p>      <input type='hidden' name='user' value='sstrunks150' /><input type='hidden' name='comment' value='1316454679929338062' /></form>    </td></tr>  <tr>    <td><p align=\"center\">        Commenting by <a href=\"http://www.haloscan.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HaloScan</a></p>      </td>  </tr></table><img src=\"http://c5.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=561713&amp;java=0&amp;security=01eeff58\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" /></body>");
