The CNN Heroes special and the Lou Dobbs Heroes special were supposed to be on TV Thanksgiving Day. Instead, we got to watch non-stop coverage of the terrorist attack . I was kind of dissapointed because BBG has started a charity to raise money for the Veterans Wheelchair Games and Quilts of Valor and they were going to do a blurb about it.
Tonight the Lou Dobbs special is almost over and we haven't seen the blurb about her charity but the special has been very good. I would encourage anyone and everyone to watch it Sunday November 30, 2008 at 7:00pm EST.
The one thing I keep returning to in this blog is that we all need to reach out and recognize these veterans every day. Regardless of the economy, the election, your political beliefs about the war, these young men and women have sacrificed their lives for us. They deserve to come home to a fully funded VA and to a country ready and willing to provide every resource they need.
BTW - her twelve seconds of quilting fame were on at the end of the show and it was pretty good. It wasn't as long as the interview and preparation I did with CNN but I am very grateful that they considered her story worthy of recognition.
Now, the grommets are being butt heads and we're in full post-TBI Migrane mode with shots and mid level drugs on board and it isn't doing a damn thing so I'm off to the medical lock box for the good stuff.
TIA
Earl

Nuts. Just read your post and looking at the time, missed the CNN telecast. Kudos to your BBG for initiating such a project and receiving media attention. Is there a clip of the 12 seconds on Youtube perahps?
Hope that migraine's been relieved and the grommets are under control.
