I interviewed women civilian world and rape is a very very traumatizing thing to have happen but ive never seen trauma like ive seen from women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma. I cannot remember how many times a young female marine that had been raped or sexually assaulted told me that she looked at these guys as your brother or the suspect as your brother its a kin to what happens in a family with incest. Because you know in the military when were functioning at our best a cohesive unit with brothers and sisters of the band of brothers and sisters i mean we are family when that ball and of trust is violated. The wound penetrates to the very most inner part of ones soul one psyche. I have this folder that i keep i have all my boot camp letters and if my mom and my sister and. People and.

Protection program and businesses of all sizes have started to use the tax tools that we provided for their liquidity. But in that time the critics have also done what they do best. They criticize. The need came has seized on an opportunity to perpetuate every negative story that critics can manufacture. You can imagine my surprise when democrats criticized the net operating loss carryback provisions in the cares act. Because oddly democrats previously supported the last three bills where we expanded the net operating loss carrybacks in 2002, 2005, and even in 2009 with all democrat rule. So i dont recall in any of those instances any partisan attacks from democrats about this previously bipartisan, antirecessionary policy tools. So why now . Sadly, that irresponsibility has led our democratic colleagues in the house to pass legislation that would take back important tax tools that we have provided in the cares act to the tune of 254 billion, and thats a tax increase on the american bu

Family and friends, things look look a little bit different this year. Even though we wont have the same services and ceremonies that we typically take part in, it does not make this day any less important. Just like every year, this memorial day, lets commemorate the Service Members and families who have sacrificed in defense of our freedom. The freedoms we cherish but are so often taken for granted did not come without a price. For generations american patriots have secured our blessings of liberty by willingly laying down their lives in defense of our great nation. Every fallen soldier leaves behind a grieving parent, child, sibling, spouse, or friend. These family members and friends never forget that knock at the door, the sound of taps, the loud thunder of the 21 gun salute or the touch of a folded flag once laid on a comes cet. As a casket. Ai know that the men and women n uniform who served bravely alongside the fallen never forget either. I think of iowans like iraq war vetera

The victory one in the west the victory won in the west must now be one in the east. The whole world must be cleansed of the people from which half of the world has been freed. Nationsthe peaceloving have demonstrated, and the west, that their arms are stronger by far than the might of dictators or the tyranny of military cliques that once called us weak.
