We're the Military and Airpower Guys of Jonah Goldberg of National Review Online + a stray we found wandering around looking lost. All original material JHD, BHD, JR, WT, and KA 2003-2007 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html Tue, 23 Sep 2008 18:07:17 Z Movable Type 4.12 en Copyright 2008 http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification No, a wounded milblogger isn't any more important than any other wounded warrior. But these are people we know, and through whom we get a little view into the world of the deployed soldier. No more important, just more... accessible. And just like Major Z of From My Position, this is a wounded milblogger who will probably give us another window into Walter Reed and rehab, an important aspect where these soldiers show a completely different level and type of courage and struggle to overcome and adapt. J.R. Salzman, of Lumberjack in a Desert has been wounded by an IED.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html Thu, 28 Dec 2006 09:36:26 -0600 Do we know if JR has arrived at Walter Reed? Is there any way to direct emails or cards to him?? http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54529 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54529 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 12:31:42 -0600 Thank you for telling us about J.R. Salzman. We can never do enough to let them know we support them. I am so grateful to Valour-IT for all they do for our troops that are wounded. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54516 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54516 Fri, 29 Dec 2006 00:49:22 -0600 I am so sorry to hear this. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54509 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54509 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 20:24:07 -0600 I wish him and his mates well on their road to recovery. Nice to see the help is so fast... not to mention there of course. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54499 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54499 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 18:21:35 -0600 Thanks for the link and the post, John. As you know, FbL's already on it and so is Chuck- esp. since he'll be at WR next weekend-ish also, when the laptop should be delivered. I'm thinking that Chuck's welcome to "the club", and Carren's support, will be a huge comfort to JR, Josie and JR's family. I'm glad to see that you got a NRO link- you get WAY more traffic than I do, so this will really help get the story out about JR and V-IT. As always, thoughts, prayers, and hope for a speedy recovery go out to JR. His lumberjack achievements are amazing- even his sister is a world-class logroller. I hope he's able to recover his balancing abilities so he can return to competition. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54477 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54477 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 13:46:44 -0600 Linked ya. Also wrote Michelle Malkin thanking her for mentioning J.R. and fussing at her for not mentioning Valour IT in the same post. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54472 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54472 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 12:40:36 -0600 D*mn, what a shame. Gotta love the guy's spirit, though! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54463 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54463 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 10:43:24 -0600 Just a note regarding the Valour-IT link: the entire Soldiers' Angels website is being redone and the server transfer left a ton of stuff scrambled on the Valour-IT section of the site. They're working on it. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54462 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/12/milblogger_woun.html#comment-54462 Thu, 28 Dec 2006 10:10:13 -0600
