Although watching will be gut-wrenching for some, please watch the HBO documentary, "Alive Day," on Sunday, September 9, 2007.

Please ask your friends, family, neighbors, reporters, and elected officials to watch "Alive Day." 

In my view, this film’s target audience is Americans too busy shopping who forget our veterans work 24/7 in the most dangerous conditions to protect our Constitution.  Watch it for them as your civic duty.

Out of 300 million Americans, 1.5 million were sent to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars - about one-half of one percent.  Now the remaining 99.5 percent of America can learn the consequences from combat first-hand from the suvivors. 

Please share these three reports about the impact of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.  The reports were prepared using official government documents from the Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA):

DoD Reports 68,000 Iraq and Afghanistan Battlefield Casualties

VA Reports 250,000 Iraq and Afghanistan War Veteran Patients

Harvard University Estimates 700,000 Veteran Patients Costing $700 Billion
