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 haven't been able to get out and visit him yet. He is from Helena, MT. He is recovering out there from wounds received in Iraq.

Editor's note · Context
