Something we all can be thankful for

I was recently challenged to say something nice about John McCain.

That is not hard to do. It has been repeated often by many people Democrats, Independants, and Republican.. We all appreciate the service John McCain has provided for this country. We anguish at thought of the experience he endured as a POW. While I am at it, it would be inappropriate not to thank the othe 724 POW's of the Vietnam war, the 7,140 POW's of the Korean war, 130,000 POW's of WWII of which my wife's uncle was one, and the 4,120 POW's of WWI.

As of 2004 we had 32,550 living POW's and we appreciate each and everyone of them. This is something we all can agree on regardless of our political philosophy. We can not know the experience they endured and we are thankful to all 142,246 POW's and their families.
