My father in law is being transferred to a different hospital after suffering a heart attack this morning. They are going to cathorize (term?? spelling??) him in a little while to see how much damage was done to his heart. Thankfully he is awake and alert.
He is a 74-year-old Italian immigrant who came to America more than 50 years ago. Both he and my mother in law became American citizens the real way; by taking the test then taking the oath. They proudly fly an American flag from their front door. As I said in a speech at my wedding, he came to America and saw nothing but opportunity, seizing it all in a dignified manner and making sure everyone was taken care of every step of the way.
He is a hard core conservative who believes in President Bush...not computer savvy, I always keep him updated about Free Republic...he still remembers the story of the soldier in Iraq scooping the media about the President's Thanksgiving Day trip to Iraq on Freep.
your Prayers are appreciated
