David Hall is not a name I will soon forget. (I think we need a saluting soldier emoticon just for him!) It was very moving to see this video. He has invested a lot in his ministry to honor those soldiers who have fallen. Is there a way to help him with the expenses? Thanks, Ray

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
