delayed posting

well, it has been awhile since I have published a post....my son is in a nearby children's hospital with pneumonia, dehydration, etc.  This is a bi-yearly hospital visit that we have become used to with him being born premature and with respiratory problems.  Even with my ride two weeks away, being nervous and concerned about raising donations...I see the strength and courage in my 3 year old that I wish half of Americans obtained.  The courage and  strength to push on...to survive and become a better person....do we as American citizens have the courage, strength and faith to do the same?  Maybe for me personally, that is why I ride for warriors that can't....to be able to profess my patriotism for my country and the values it was founded on...during hard times, I know our country has the ability to regain it's glamour and honor as we once were...not just the world's pin cushion but, instead a country with the integrity and honor to lead in a positive manner, not world-wide janitoral service.  Will promise to update more after recovering from 3 days of no sleep.  GOD BLESS TO ALL AMERICANS
