Taking a step back from the '08 Presidential campaign for a moment, I wanted to share the link for the tragic story of Pfc. LaVena Johnson. I am ashamed that I did not know anything about this until it was mentioned this morning on a political talk show that I listen to on my way to work.

If you get a moment, please take a moment to read her story and sign the petition for Congressional action at colorofchange.org. Thank you.
