I hope one day to make your acquaintance. Your writings are inspirational and quite moving, eclipsed only by your courage, sensitivity, and undaunted spirit. It's we who should be thanking you. Best wishes to you both, for a speedy recovery.

Morning everyone...
Well I had the priveledge of detailing out Brat's two vehicles this past weekend, and low and behold he gave me a check from all the donations from the club...thank you, as it will allow us to hang on for yet another month.
We are bracing for the long haul, and it is apparent that Dawn will not be progressing in any sppedy fashion. She is pretty limited in her abilities (tying shoes, bending, sitting, or any activity for prolonged periods of time).
I have liquidated pretty much all of our asset's...minus the truck(for the moment)...and it has given us a bit of breathing room. We were certain this would have been all over by now.:dontknow: . Such is life...were dealing with it.
There has been numerous people that have helped us cognitively, financially, and spiritually..and for that I/we will be forever grateful.
Thought's and prayers are the most important...and continued thanks regarding is an order....
Thank YOU all!
Regards,
Ken & Dawn.

Sometimes god tests us. Let's hope and pray that this is a test and you pass. After that only good things will come.
That's my hope and what I pray for Ken.:rock:

Let me tell you that we would be in a big world of hurt right now if it was not for the unbelieveable people that we have here.
Please know in your hearts and minds that you have elevated another persons ability to survive, during the most damaging chain of events to take place in our lives.
Over the past seven and a half months, I have felt the impact of every God given emotion, and at times those emotions continued to try and get a grip on me/us.
Through the truly humbling amount of "support" (Prayer, Calls, Pm's, $, Cards, GTG's, Ect.)... has been the difference of breaking through some of the more difficult, (and potentially devastaing) emotions... ( :help: :afraid: :bawling: :argh: :banghead: :shot:
Your all are responsible for that.... and to me...whatever I type here...never seems to be enough "Thank You".
Know that this entire experience......drives me to be a better person to others..... to thank God for the wonderful things I/we do have.... to be a little more open minded when there are discrepencies in an opinion, belief, or position....live one day at a time....and to have a better perspective on life in general.
Certainly....
Life is about making some things happen, not waiting for something to happen.
Thank You all for making our lives happen.
With all our Love and Respect, to the people of the VTCOA

Hot Damn!! Back on the line tomorrow morning! Been a long few months, but it's all over! Got my clearance from the MD this morning, and I am good to go tomorrow for full duty... so frickin happy. the last week has been an uphill roallercoaster ride that finally ended for the good. Thank God...finally. For the first time in months things are turning around.
:dancing: :dancing: :star: :rock: :ridinghorse: :congrats: :flute: :beer: :beer::beer: :beer: :beer: :dancing2:
I can't thank all of you enough for all the suport that I have received from this unbelieveable organization of people.
When my head was down, you helped me to look up.... specifically through the numerous calls, pm's, and post's. The financial support humbles me almost to the point of overwhelming guilt... yet another hurdle I have been able to come to terms with due to everyones continued emotional support.
Know that it has allowed us to sustain, and maintain a quaility of life...that's been in certain jeopardy.
All of the above drives me to be a better person, and is a constant reminder of the moral fiber of the men and women we have here on this site.
One down....one to go.
Thank you everyone for the support.

Kenny, that is outstanding news brother! :rock: Keep that head up man. I'm so happy for you. Its safe to say, we were all happy to help, personally, it was an honor. I know you would have supported anyone of us in need by any means possible, whether it would have been monitarily or emotionally. So knock that guilty monkey off your shoulders. It's got no business being there.
Just concentrate on Dawn for us.

glad to hear that you are going back to active duty,we are still praying for Dawn.
I feel safer all the way up in Illinois!
Congratulations on going back to full duty.
