I am alive today

Letter to the Editor:

I am alive today, thanks to nine generous men and or women, who gave me their blood, and to the wonderful care I received at Flagler Hospital and the Ponce de Leon Care Center, and the good wishes from oh, so many friends.

I am alive today and went straight off to join the enthusiastic demonstration at the Plaza de la Costituizione this morning. It was awesome, empowering.

End the War. Bring the Troops Home. Stop the Funding.

Great signs, the beautiful white peace dove, the dancing Fairy Queen, and the largest crowd we have ever had (after four long years of gathering on the 3rd Saturday of every month.) Thanks for continuous leadership from PPJ (People for Peace & Justice), Veterans of America, and Grandparents for Peace.

I am alive today and want more than ever to help change the course from violence to diplomacy, from injustice to safety, health, education, and happiness. It will only come to pass if we work together, stand tall, with a clear vision of our goals. Here are my thanks to all, and my pledge to try to make each day more meaningful.
