PFC. JOSHUA SPARLING SPEAKS

By

Michelle Malkin

  ·   January 22, 2006 01:22 PM

Joshua Sparling, the injured soldier who received that disgusting death-wish greeting card before Christmas last month, is on the road to recovery. Doctors have given him good odds that his leg will be saved. The Political Teen has the latest and also has posted audio links to Pfc. Sparling's radio interviews on the Sean Hannity show.

Reader Tony J. reports that Sparling "took his first steps since this injury, walking (hopping) 12 feet to the door and 10 feet back to the chair to sit down. He will be on crutches for about one year from today." Tony also sends along this photo of Pfc. Sparling in his hospital room at Walter Reed, with boxes of get-well cards and letters in the foreground:

We're still praying for you, Joshua. Get well soon!

If it weren't for the 1600 miles between here and the east coast I'd be there for sure. I've already received a had written note back from Joshua thanking us for the books that we sent him for Christmas.

What great news! I hope Joshua has access to a computer to see for himself all the support we are sending his way.

Thanks, Just! What a hero this man is! I wish someone would talk him into becoming a FReeper!

Good to see you...heard y'all just rolled over the Pinkos and they slinked off with their tails between their legs there at WR! I'm proud of you guys!

Josh questioned me about FR extensively. All in good time, my FRiend. His dad already is out there with us on the street.

After hearing about Joshua, my eight year old sent a card to "any soldier" at Walter Reed. Do you think it got there?

His dad is with you guys? What an honor...on both sides. Am I still with you? ;o)

I hope he will become a FReeper...it would give him so much support and a place for him to let off steam. Did you show him the site on a laptop?

Wonderful pictures! Glad Mr. Sparling confronted the Pinkos the way he did. Great guy...and a real hero!

Thanks for including me. If you get a chance, shake Mr. Sparling's hand for me and thank him for his service and for his wonderful son's sacrifice for us! God bless them and you!

Thank you, JA. I'm so glad to hear he is walking again. I pray that he continues to heal. The PT is grueling, but you won't hear them complain.

Did you see the FNS Person of the Year, a doctor(?) at WR, talking about the troops there and how they continue to go beyond where the doctors and therapists think they can?
