Great story you wrote about my brother, Kevin, and the efforts made by the non-profit organization, GMRF. It's hard to comprehend what life must be like living in a place like Iraq, or to helplessly watch a loved one suffer. What impressed me most was the amount of time that Kevin donated helping in an area that had nothing to do with his duties w/in the Air Force. Hi Jen.

Very inspiring. Do you mind if I make one small comment? I hated that you brought in the part about the father wanting a cigarette. It completely distracted me, and took me away from the story. I think, as journalists, when we include things like smoking in our stories (when the story is not, for example, about quitting smoking) it makes it more okay for readers to smoke. It's too matter-of-fact, too part of life. You know? Otherwise, beautifully written, heartwarming and lovely. Beautiful story. Very inspiring. Do you mind if I make one small comment?

It brings me back to the fact that people are suffering so very much across the world and the generosity of others. This is a touching, beautiful and beautifully-written story.

Jen, did you say you also published it in Reader's Digest? Where can I find a hard copy? I'd like to read it again in print. I find this story very moving.

Coinciding with Poppy Day in the UK - it is so easy to think that veterans are something only left from the world wars. What an amazing story.
