Don't forget about them.
In their at-war pasts, they each put their physical, mental & with some, spiritual "all" on the line.
Now, some have lost more than others, and most in different ways.
They are our heros, no matter what the circumstances.
Click the DAV's logo above. Honor them with a visit to the internet site dedicated to them all.
During my 6 years at Kulis Air National Guard Base in Anchorage, Alaska, where I worked in the
computer graphics and video shooting & production sections, and was the co-editor of "The Guardian," the Alaska Air Guard's
monthly newspaper, I worked side by side with the woman who founded the T.A.P.S. organization in 1994, Bonnie Carroll.
I remember Bonnie to have been a joyful, creative & very intelligent woman, who served in the White House during President Reagan's
and the beginning of President Bush Sr.'s terms and most recently as the deputy senior advisor for programs in the Ministry of Communications.
I was working at Kulis in 1992 when Bonnie lost her husband, U.S. Army Brig. General Tom Carroll, to an Alaska Army Guard C-12 plane crash in Alaska.
Seven others were also lost in the crash. Bonnie created T.A.P.S. 2 years later and in the succeeding years, the Good Grief Camps for children also.
Click here or on the TAPS logo above & visit her organization's site.
"Grief is not a mental illness," notes Carroll. "It's the price we pay for loving someone."
And another site, dedicated to help us in our cherished comfort zones understand just what the American men & women Veterans
choose to do, & then must unquestioningly commit to doing, oftentimes putting their own comfort, the wholeness of their limbs, & their very lives in harm's way.
