Re: Not Again?

But remember the discrepency that could not be immediately explained? Looks like it's going to be immediately ignored.

Oh, NO! Not Again??

Here's the NYT headline

U.S. Airstrike Kills 20 People in Pakistan

Expedition: North America

Some of you may have met Paul at the MilBlog Conference last year. Paul is a disabled veteran, and a fantastic guy. A fantastic guy with a goal.

I am a disabled veteran with spinal cord trauma between C5 and C6 in my neck. Some doctors call me, “a higher functioning quadriplegic,” some call me, “a paraplegic with increased deficits,” and still others call me, “a tetraplegic.” Regardless of which term is used I am still permanently confined to an electric wheelchair.

Even though I am paralyzed I find myself on the cusp of a great adventure.

My goal is to travel America alone for a little over a year… actually closer to 18 months… exploring and visiting the people that I have spent virtually my entire life, in one way or another, defending, or in service to.

There will also be a section for real-time GPS coordinates that will allow my readers to see where I’m at, in Google Maps, at any given moment. I’d also like to encourage you to read through my blog and give me any feedback and/or ideas that you may have. Please, do not hesitate to add comments.

While I have many personal reasons for making this trip. The biggest and most important things that I want to impart upon my sponsors and readers is this:

This expedition is not about left or right politics, or pro or anti war views. This trip is primarily about setting the bar for other veterans with disabilities. It’s a ‘proof of concept’ that adventure is not out of reach just because someone has lost their sight, or a limb, or is paralyzed. That there are still opportunities to be had in life, if you’re just willing to reach out and Seize Adventure.

I love Paul's sense of humor, too.

Pay a visit to Paul's blog (and check in regularly). I have no doubt that Paul will reach his goal, have a lot of fun in the process and become an inspiration to scores of people with disabilities, military and non-military alike.

Meet Ray Buckley

Did New Hampshire Democrat Party Chairman Ray Buckley make a false claim of being a Vietnam veteran to a Gold Star mom? Or is it all just a "misunderstanding"?
