Everybody insisted it had nothing to do with the articles, but you can believe that if you want to.Lorinda J Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985567506994751475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843833519373801339.post-12373337776032742732013-06-01T14:59:24.266-07:002013-06-01T14:59:24.266-07:00I hope it doesn't take that much to catch the ...I hope it doesn't take that much to catch the government's attention.<br /><br />http://joycelansky.blogspot.comCatch My Wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338761214938263819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843833519373801339.post-7337865685422784922013-05-22T07:43:10.103-07:002013-05-22T07:43:10.103-07:00Thanks so much for stopping by!

I read in today's Gazette that some 40,000 people around the country have viewed the articles and there were comments (the usual platitudes about taking care of our veterans) from some Congressmen. Maybe my blog post contributed to a few of those! I hope journalism can help alleviate this appalling situation.Lorinda J Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985567506994751475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843833519373801339.post-32652020489104255682013-05-22T00:30:26.145-07:002013-05-22T00:30:26.145-07:00thank you for bringing attention to this.

You must be the Alvarez mentioned in the article! Thanks for commenting! As I said, I'm not usually an activist, but this made me so indignant, I had to try to get more people to read the Gazette articles, which are terrifically well done. Hope they win a Pulitzer!Lorinda J Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985567506994751475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4843833519373801339.post-71022494651367354222013-05-21T10:58:19.517-07:002013-05-21T10:58:19.517-07:00Yes, great post, Lorinda.

These men and women were casualties of a war they volunteered to serve at the request of their nation . I promise you , the Army loved them when they enlisted , they loved me when they deployed , and then they divorced at the first signs of any defects they incurred doing their job .
