I found your veteran story to be very heartfelt. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Sun, 26 Jun 2011 14:52:22 +0000 Re: Which Side Are You On?https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9289,from=rss#post9289https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9289,from=rss#post9289Thank you also, Kat. I'm not apologizing for getting riled up about veterans, but that wasn't the topic, was it? I'll just samba out of this discussion and hope everyone enjoyed the music. Now, back to the union discussion which I so rudely interrupted:.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................nondisclosed_email@example.com (elizabeth anne)Sun, 26 Jun 2011 12:55:38 +0000 Re: Which Side Are You On?https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9287,from=rss#post9287https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9287,from=rss#post9287Hi Liz, I accept your apology as well. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Katlin)Sun, 26 Jun 2011 11:45:17 +0000 Re: Which Side Are You On?https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9282,from=rss#post9282https://bdelectablemnts.runboard.com/p9282,from=rss#post9282Guess that means it was too much in your face?

I am so proud of my staff. They loved like there was no tomorrow, and still do and I still do too........ I walked a 19 year old kid , attached to 5 IVs, and bald because of chemo, out to have a smoke. He had on his Marine service cap. We were on the 7th floor. When the elevator opened to the 4th floor a patient, a gentleman, a former serviceman FOR US, got on. He was wearing Marine insignia as well. He must have been in his 70's. He came to full salute to the young man I was escorting and said "Semper Fi'. And my young man responded in full salute "Do or die." I have never in my career as a nurse, or in my fortune to be a person, been so moved or so privileged to witness the brotherhood between 2 men of service, one in his 70's, one not even into his 20s. This bond we outside the armed forces do not know, do not understand, and will never, for the grace of God, ever understand. But I was moved to tears and I saluted them some 25 years ago and I salute all of them overseas and on our soil today. For tonight, I am so tired of the ivory tower view of life. My friends went off to war--nurse managers at the VA. I've been engaged in legislative efforts to provide more services to returning veterans and in research to demonstrate need. VOTE, RUN FOR OFFICE, chain yourself to something, VOLUNTEER! Or, write poetry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fX1rlcpLzr0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gr_eVcCAUXo&feature=grec_index http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NKTZwTH6XQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayVO5Wp6pp0&feature=related In earnest apology if all of that was too much "in your face".
