My heart goes out to Tomas today.
If you have not yet seen Body Of War, it's a great documentary about Tomas dealing with his paralysis following his injury in Iraq. There is one scene where Tomas goes to see Senator Byrd in his DC office and Byrd tells him about his vote against the IWR in 2002 and shows Tomas the vote record framed and hanging in his office, showing the "immortal 23" senators who voted against the IWR. It is one of the most touching scenes I have ever seen on film. Tomas is a friend of mine and has expressed deep admiration for Senator Byrd on many occasions. Thinking of you today, Tomas!  |
