| The following letters were
written to members of Congress in regards to my seven adopted
warriors. Leading up to writing the letters, I spent three
different periods looking for just whom the letters should be
addressed to. I ended up choosing three Senators and three
Representatives. Only one of the six (Senator Phil Gramm)
represented me at the time, but does it really matter? I wrote
one letter for each of my adopted warriors, with the exception of
my two Army guys, who shared a letter.
Below you will find links to
each of the letters. Each has its own page, and when/if I receive
a response, it will be posted below the original letter. The
"[rr]" following some names indicates a response received [note :
I have received two responses from Senator Harkin]. I encourage
each of you to write at least one Congress person re your adopted
warrior(s). If you need help locating your rep (or any rep), go
to my contact page, where you will
find links to locating Representatives and Senators, as well as a
link to a page which lists all Senators and Representatives who
are Veterans.
