Every spring, as we look around this city, I just think it is God's picturesque way of reminding us of the Earth's renewal. It comes every spring just as a reminder that that is one institution that we haven't been able to change. I have a resident of Montana who is at Walter Reed Army Hospital, Army SGT Charles Horgan.

I am sure the hearts of everybody who shares our concerns about one life, one human, go out to him and his folks today.
