Thoughts2

[Guest guest]

Due to the overwhelming responses from my first letter, I decided to

share with you a few more thoughts. It amazes me how a few words can inspire

someone. When I look to be inspired, I go to Major Bates website and read

his testimony or Capt. Buck. These two people are in great health, but

risked their carrer's to DO THE RIGHT THING. I think these people don't

always get the credit they deserve. We seem to focus on the one's that are

not healthy and take for granted that the healthy people will DO THE RIGHT

THING.

I believe it is harder to DO THE RIGHT THING when your health is not in

question. They had nothing to gain by doing so, and almost lost everything

in the process in DOING THE RIGHT THING. These people are the one's that

need to be our future leaders. Imagine a society where our leaders did the

right thing. Faced the repercuissions without a second thought.

Dr. Nass and Col. Handy are a few other people who will not stop. They

have showed the commintment that truley defines what character is all about.

These people are my mentors, role models, and friends.

I know there are many of you that I have not mentioned. I just named a

few. I thank you all. I would also like to thank the silent warriors out

there by showing your support to your spouses, family, sons, daughters, and

friends. Without you, we would never have the strenght to continue in this

fight. You, above all, need to be recognized. You do this without

recognization and are sometimes forgotten about and ignored through all the

commotion. Just know, you give us the strength and courage to go on.

To my wife and mother, I LOVE YOU!

God bless,

Tom Colosimo
