Hey Curt-
You wrote:
Thank you to every man and woman serving in the Armed Forces of the United States. I thank God every day we live in a country founded on the principles and ethics that allow men and women like these people to live and WANT to serve here.

While I wholeheartedly agree to thank every person in uniform for their sacrifices to say they all WANT to serve is misleading. A lot of people who sign up for the military do so out of NEED, not WANT. In most instances they are of a lower economic class and the only way to get money for them to go to college and create a better life is to join up with the armed forces. I think if we had a draft and everyone had something to lose(I wonder how many Republicans and Democrats would have voted for the war had he/she had a son/daughter in harms way? I’m guessing not many.) then maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess in Iraq and Osama Bin Ladin would have been caught. After all it was Osama who planned 9/11…you know that, right? Because it seems people at the highest level of government, like Cheney, don’t.

Thanks!

Mark

Major Kudos for loving the troops. Most people say they do, while it is obvious that you really do. In a time it is not cool to love this country you have no proble doing so. You are the man.

Curt,Always admire a person who says what is on their mind regardless of what others might be thinking AND have the intergrity to admit when they might have been a bit over the top. You have a great bunch of guys around you. You all play the game RIGHT, as Tito says. Believe it or not I was very proud of the Sox last year with the way they carried on and played even when they were out of it. I trust that your current success this year is the fruit of last year’s philosophy going forward. Play well and stay healthy!

Hope you do great today, Curt.

Despite what their record implies, the Yankees are a tough team, and any sympathy any Sox fan may have foolishly been harboring for them the past few weeks was all washed away yesterday. They’ve won but a couple of games in a row, and already they’re displaying their typical loathesome hubris!

Time to show them why the Sox have the best record in baseball, and you’re just the man to do it!

Good luck.

Look forward to reading your blog after this series. Hope you find time to write even with the tough travel schedule after this series.

What did Yoda say? “May the force be with you!” Here’s wishing you ten runs to their zero!
