On the other hand, it is so sad how selfishness and abuse has brought the Make a Wish Foundation to the brink of financial ruin.

I will never forget the sight of a boy of perhaps only eight years of age piloting a "cherry red, sparkly" FA-18 trainer over the horizon "to Disney Land" with afterburners glowing and Britney Spears and a giraffe in the back seat.

The generosity and love of neighbor make our military and its leaders the greatest fighting force ever assembled.

May God bless all our living and deceased military and their loved ones.
