Shadow it was a pleasure meeting you in RC and the different stops on the way. The last time I saw you was at Rays Equipment in Odessa. I know the heat  and humidity was hard on all of us. You keep up the work your'e doing. I find it very inspirational and especially like your pictures. I don't know where you get all of them, but keep it up.

I can still see well enough to read both upper and lower case on a computer screen; however, I have a really hard time on paper so I print  in all caps.  So your typing style does not bother or offend me.  It is the content that matters.  I much more appreciate the support than the fact you are not a vet.  But I will admit to being prejudice in favor of vets.

Shadow, you are a blessing and none of your posts bother me in caps or not..... continue what you do you support our mission, our vets, mia and pows you should not let small minded people ever get in your way about that it is their problem not yours... This family is your family and we appreciate everything you do and post for RFTW never forget that no matter what the whispers might say.... had up close personal experience with the Heart of Dixie .... this year and I know this  I am a better person than them, I love my troops, My son ( I am a blue star mom), My uncles whom have all served this country in many conflicts.  I am blessed that they all came home and are still with me which puts even more meaning to those we are still waiting to come home.... This family is made up of many types of personalities and people and just like any family you can and will not be able to please everyone... no matter what you do .... so just contiue to be your self....let your actions speak for your self and dont sweat the small stuff..... I personally find your posts, poems, pictures inspiring and on point no matter what the font or capitalizationHug  see you in 2013
Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation. Thanks SheWolf

Being half blind,  It is nice to be able to sit back in my chair and read your posts,  but there is a time,  late a night, could you use the BOLD?      thanks for all of your posts,  you are a brother to me even though we have never met,  but , maybe I have met you on the run,  everyone on the runs are there for one reason, and I personally THANK YOU for riding with me, somewhere in that long line of brothers. THANK YOU

Okay, so I am old and my once Top Secret job is now in museums for the Boy Scouts to see however.....I just thought that you were trying to make me feel at home.  My job in the military would only type in caps.  must be why I yell all the time now!   I agree with HRG, I have found what I have read of your posts to be appropriate and heart felt.

Shadow, in many online forums writing in all caps is often intended as and taken as the digital firm of shouting. However, most people recognize that for some persons changing cases can be difficult for one reason or anorher. We learn to read the content, not the format, to get a sense of the person doing the writing. It is beyond me that anyone who reads your content could be offended in any way. I for one am continually moved and inspired by the things you post and I implore you to keep up the good work. I have told you before it does not matter that you are not a veteran; it only matters that you support our veterans and our troops. I am sorry I was not able to meet you in DC this year; I was looking forward to shaking your hand. Maybe next year. In the meantime, ignore the naysayers. You are a positive influence and you are appreciated. Keep up the good work.

THIS MAKES MY 14TH YEAR PARTICIPATING IN RFTW. WHEN I FIRST WAS APART AND MET DRAGON JOE , HE OFFERED ADVICE ON HOW TO PROMOTE THIS MISSION. AND I TOOK OFF FROM THERE .EACH YEAR POSTING OUR SCHEDULE WHERE EVER THEY WULD LET ME. AND HERE ON THE INTERNET SITES AS WELL. IT OPENED A WHOLE NEW WORLD TO ME AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED TO MAKE SO MANY FRIENDS THRU THE YEARS HERE. NOW-IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT SOME MAY FEEL I HAVE DONE WRONG--OR WRONGED THEM OR RFTW HERE.  I ASSURE YOU ALL THAT HAS NEVER BEEN MY INTENT. I AM NOT A VETERAN--THERE FORE I CAN NOT KNOW THE EXPERIANCES YOU HAVE , BUT WITH MY POSTS N COMMENTS N POEMS , N STORIES ;;IT IS MY HOPE TO INSPIRE ,BRING A SMILE , OR CAUSE ONE TO RMEMEBER. SOME OF WHAT I POST IS NOT SO MUCH FOR US --BUT FOR THE NEW PEOPLE. AS I  HAVE SAID--IT IS NEVER ABOUT ME--ITS ABOUT ALL OF OUR VETERANS. RFTW IS MY WAY OF SERVING MY COUNTRY AND HONORING ALL VETS. I USE CAPS BECUASE NO MATTER WHAT I HAVE TRIED , I CAN NOT SEE THE LETTERS WELL. I HAVE A DISABILITY THAT WHAT I SEE IN MY MIND--COMES OUT REVERSE HERE. SO IT TAKES ME ALOT TO TYPE N TRY N CORRECT. I AM NOT YELLING. Big smile ..  I KNOW IM BRASH OR BLUNT AT TIMES--BUT I THGHT NO MORE OR  LESS THAN OTHERS.  I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR OUR VETERANS N RUN FOR THE WALL.  IF ANY ONE HERE FEELS I HAVE WRONGED THEM--PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT--WINDATMYBACK03@YAHOO.COM --OR CALL MY CELL-304-719-7696.  I WULD LOVE TO TALK WITH YOU. AGAIN I APOLOGIZE FOR ANYTHING IN MY COMMENTS OR POSTS THAT MITE HAVE OFFENDED. NEXT YEAR IS OUR 25TH ANNIVESARAY AND IT IS MY HOPE N DREAM TO MAKE THE ENTIRE RUN--JUST THIS ONCE. SOME OF MY STUFF IS CLEANED N PACKED ALREADY ..  RFTW-2013---THE MISSION CONTINUES.
