Denish helps unite wounded Iraq veteran with family
Posted 12/17/2007 09:02:00 AM
Lt. Gov. Diane Denish has stepped up in a big way to help unite a wounded Iraq veteran with his family this Christmas.
Army Private James Browning was wounded during a firefight in Iraq earlier this year. Twelve of his fellow soldiers died; only two survived. Since then, Browning has battled post-traumatic stress disorder and a traumatic brain injury. He’s currently at Fort Hood in Texas and was recently granted holiday leave.
His family, however, was unable to afford a ticket home.

What a great story! Random acts of kindness, stranger helping a stranger because of someone in their life had touched their hearts. She did this because of her uncle's actions during his life. It's amazing how much we can touch other people many years from now by what we do today.
Vietnam vets used courage to fight for their wounds to be taken care of, to be accepted by other veterans who shut them out and now they are moving mountains for the sake of the newest generation to make sure they are not shut out or forgotten about. We can make a difference just by doing what Lt. Gov. Denish did. She cared enough to help.
