A few of us are planning on heading to Walter Reed this weekend for the monthly open house for wounded soldiers. The only reason I tell you this is in case you’d like us to deliver words of encouragement and gratitude from you. We’ll bring any e-mails you send (please e-mail them to [email protected]); another idea: if you’re a teacher and want your class to say their thanks, feel free to send them in, but I’ll need them in my hands by this Friday.
