Jessica Lynch, West Virginia's accidental hero, is still my hero.

She's been among those at the top of my hero list since her name came up as missing in action in Iraq and we heard the story of her rescue.

The fact that the Rambo story about her proved to be false doesn't change my opinion of her. As I said in an early column, the fact that she, and hundreds of young people like her, chose to join the military as a way out of the pathetic economic conditions in their West Virginia communities is more than admirable.

It's patriotic

1. The fact that the Rambo story proved to be false changed my opinion of her

From bad to good, actually. I was really impressed with her when she started denying the stories spread about her, and spoke out against them.

3. Me too as they have put her in an awful spot also her pals.

These people have beem used badly by the service like the gun crew on the battle ship, so many years ago.
