Very Often and Soon I hope with all my faith to see All of my Brothers and Sisters Back at Home where things are not so what my Grandfather Jefferson would say a Declaration of Libertarian acceptance! The Very same Beaurocracy that Secures my Families every day tasks have each of you in harms way! Yes I know that the measure of non-existence I have on the battleground and sea at your everyside may seem wide right, but know that our souls are in flight St. Christopher has fixed sights!!! As I think of the pain that stains your every brain I can not help but break my swagger, Oh Great Sir it hurts like a dirty dagger! I can't even keep from gettin' shot on an Interactive Army of Two warfare simulator! Just imagine what kind of loser I might be next to The Beast in the Middle East! My Grandfather was not much of a soldier on the one hand and a Natural Leader on the other, please take caution and be well!

I am unable to find out how to make direct contact wit Robin Meade.
The purpose is to bring attention to the failure of the Dept of Defense to award the CMOH to the soldier named at this link. He is gone.
what possible motive could there be to NOT make the award?
what ever the circumstances of his death, he gave it all. Is that no longer enough? Please look into this.

Thanks,

John
