We are all happy for Favre and wish him well, but we wonder what in the world we will do without him. Your article reminded me that I am not alone...

They can see the truth...

I have a lot of interaction with troops - they come to my listening sessions - they're usually veterans of the Iraq war, but also veterans of other wars. And we have regular conversations.
