One thought on “Stresses and strains — the troops on overload”

It\’s kind of sad that everyone here already assumes that the marines did it. It\’s entertainment and a talking point for the Left. Sad. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? it\’ as if some people are hoping it\’s true. let\’s wait for the facts, and if indeed our troops did something wrong, I\’m sure they will be punished. Why don\’t we have a discussion about all the lives that were saved by giving Iraq\’s children vaccines, or something else?

Broken Cord: An Anthology of Writing on Alzheimer’s and Dementia

We are looking to raise seed money for an anthology of writing on Alzheimer’s and dementia. The anthology will be the first project from a new small press. All proceeds will go to research and care groups. Contributors who donate $20 or more will get copies of the anthology and a mention on the acknowledgements page. Writers, we are looking for poems, fiction, and essays on dementia and Alzheimer’s. They can be from any perspective — care-givers, family, the person with dementia.
