   Why does it say PRO next to my name? Did I upgrade and not know about it?

   I think the pro is leftover from when everyone was listed that way. I don’t see your name as pro, but when I look at my postings it has it. I still get ads, so I know I’m just a regular reader.

    pookid, very cool story. And surprisingly it’s true (I’ve read too many cool stories that have nothing to back it up so I check on everything)

    people will probably be seeing postings and emails similar to the one posted by pookid in the next month.
    sadly most of them are about WWII , Korea and Vietnam vets or casualties, but i have yet to see any about those involved in the Middle East.
    With all due respect , I salute all veterans Past ,Present and Future

    That was a great story. I would only disagree with your last entry. While it was, as you say, about the priorities of press and the media, it was also about what we didn’t know - the bravery of this man - I wouldn’t want that to be overlooked DESPITE the sensationalist seeking media.
