I first thought about doing a triathlon last summer when I went to New York and watched my cousin participate in one. I thought that the people looked normal, and that it would be a good way to get back into shape. It let me be normal again. |
I thought it was interesting that the treatment, not the cancer, is what actually makes you sick. |
It has been a nice surprise for people to see the PSP on the shelves. We have still got free stock available but people need to get in quick. |
It really goes back to when we abandoned the draft, |
It's definitely a style thing. They can be hung on a wall, look fantastic and people finally have a quarter of their room back. |
Once you join the military you become a guardian of the United States, ... You are trained to believe the United States is worth defending. |
One of the interesting and unfortunate effects of eliminating the draft is now there's a real class difference between those who serve and those who do not, |
Teaching kept my life as normal as it could be. |
There are a lot of things out there written that show the before and after but not the actual journey through the disease. |
Together these things have really meant that we rely on the Guard much more and those troops are more likely to come from certain sections of America that have economic needs, |
Unremarkable...a journey through cancer, chemotherapy and healing. |
When you have this disease, you can't ever go to the doctor by yourself. You just can't do that kind of a thing alone. You have to take anyone: friends, family, even a random guy from the street. |
When you're sick, you really have to rely on anyone that is willing to help you. When people offer to help, they really want to, and you have to believe them and let them help. |
