Well, Kossacks... you've done it. I don't know how, and I don't know why, but you did it.

A month ago, if you had told me that communities like DKos existed, that genuinely go out of their way to help one another, I'd have laughed in your face, citing your words as impossible nonsense.

I was surprised... surprised to the point of tears... along with my wife and son... at the response we received to our plea when a very special member of DKos and her husband finally talked my stubborn ass into seeking the help we needed.

If you'll be so kind as to follow me after the jump, I'll elaborate in detail where my family stands now, and what our plans are for the future.

Good Evening Kossacks - Leo Here

First, I would like to grant a moment's silence for our fallen eight years ago this day, on September 11, 2001. Thousands were either wounded or killed in this tragedy, in an event that shook our nation forever.

Respect and honor is owed to the thousands of our soldiers and their families who were not as fortunate as many of us who did return home from Afghanistan and Iraq to defend our homes - to ensure tragedies like these never happen again.

THAT is the reason we fight in Afghanistan and Iraq... a reason many seem to forget... Please take this moment to honor that cause... and whether you support the war efforts or not, know that the reasons our soldiers, airmen, sailors, and marines fight is for just that...

...for the love of the people back home, and the glorious land they pray to return to each and every day.

Now, if you'll all follow me to the body of this diary, I will address today's events, and what has happened in the saga Llbear began for my family a few weeks past.
