That was one of the first stories I was linked/referred to when I first got on Socnet and met the personalities that I ended up following over here. I knew I was surrounded with the best people this country offers right then.
I tell your story all the time while at work, Sir.

Not often you get a chance to speak for 55,000 lost brothers, and hundreds of thousands more alive who wish they had the opportunity, is it?

T R:
No, certainly not often.
All in all, I think I did pretty well by all those you mentioned, and in that respect it was a rather humbling experience...Knowing that I had the opportunity (and the obligation) to speak for so many, who for whatever reason could not speak up for themselves.

It's the obligation that many will never understand.
Thanks again.
