RWE 9/5/08 – 2:50 pm –

Yours was the single most impactful post I’ve read in years. My father was a POW of the Japanese.

Listening to John McCain speak of being broken still leaves me without words to describe the pain to hear his words and absorb what that meant then and now. My experience of men who are heroes is they never think they are and they rarely speak of it. John McCain had to bring it home to people who have never met one. You see and hear his discomfort with speaking of his experiences and as always how the genuine hero gives the credit to others.

I have printed out your post and thank you for it. God’s grace comes out in darkest times – the Vietnam POWs’ solution to healing one another is heartbreaking, humbling and loving. Thank you.
