Candace,

I just went back over your response searching for something that sounded soapboxy or annoying in anyway. I came up with this: nothing. You've been respectful throughout our interaction and I want to thank you for that. We do need to do better for our veterans. It's an awful thing to ask someone to go to war to protect you. We should treat those people who risk their lives with respect and dignity. Soapbox all you want on that one, you're preaching to the choir here.
