my heartfelt gratitude to the men and women in the military such as Sgt. Emery and their families for the sacrifices they have made for their country. I hope our politicians can rise above their 'political ambitions' to address the needs of these human beings and make sure that they 'feel the love and appreciation' they so greatly deserve.

Thank you for sharing DJ Emory's story. He lost his legs to MDR Acinetobacter Baumannii (the infection)despite the best efforts of his caretakers. This bacteria has been spread throughout the military health system and taken many lives and limbs unnecessarily.
DJ Emory and his family deserve the brightest future, as do all of our other casualties.

For every story on Abu Ghrayb, there are dozens of these stories. And dozens more of every day courage, caring, and raw heroism by men and women who then go back and do it every day. Its a terrible thing that you are just now finding out about them. They endure great hardship, some endure great pain, but they don't complain, they join up, they re-up, they go back and they do it day after day. Many here proclaim that they are losing. But they decided long ago that it is important that America wins this fight and they do it one day at a time. And they will win.

Semper Fidelis my brother. I took my 9 year old son to the open house on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln yesterday on the 4th of July to see the real heroes in America. He talked to every man and woman in uniform that he possibly could have. He had me take his picture with every possible one we could have until the batteries died in the digital camera. He knows that real heroes are not measured by how much they make for throwing a football, but that real heroes have the courage to stand up and fight for what they believe in, for almost nothing in return. Every true American honors your commitment and sacrifice.

All of us who sit in comfort, say things that make us seem important, that come out as disdainful or hurtful, and judgemental, have to stop and think and act on behalf of all those Soldiers who, really know what life is like, the sargeants Emery and Ellis, who don't complain, and still believe in the good things that humans are capable of !
I agree with D. Smith above. and further ask why are we so intent on calumniating our Soldiers? Vilifying them, for what? For trying to do what they as military people are trained to do? For doing what they have to to survive, -often out of sheer necessity to survive? For reacting to the attacks from people who seem to have no concept for decent rules of engagement, and a desire to commit indesriminate acts of violence to their own people? Nicholas
