You just might find something in your eye.
Those who donate to the cause, this is what your hard-earned money is going for.
Great job, MAJ Baldwin, keep up the hard work. I'll be cheering for you, hermano!

What an awesome example of a warrior and a great example for us to emulate. His attitude will carry him far and I am certainly going to believe with him that soon he will be doing the things he desires to do again. Thanks for posting this. It serves as a great testimony about one's determination to get through the valley to the next mountain top.

I do not have the words to express how I feel so I will leave it with a woefully inadequate "Thank you for your service" and "God Bless you and yours."
