James Starowicz "Heroes in the Sandbox"

If we didn't allow Wars and Occupations of Choice {and many now will say they don't, long after they gave apparent support and were silent then and long time after} there wouldn't be any "Heroes in the Sandbox" only Heroes who serve to defend our country when really at the very last resort as well as our Constitution, that which they take an Oath to Defend both. But since we do cheer on War the kids are one who suffer and not only those of the soldier!

I've been meeting with local vet organizations to get the info. out concerning Dryhootch Menomonie. Of course, we are just in the beginning stages but moving along "none-the-less" in the process. We have actually looked at
