Lance Corporal Tony Stevens has been honored by the Florida Senate.
Tony is the Jacksonville Marine who set a new record by going through ten separate bomb attacks during his two tours of Iraq and still hanging out on this side of the grass.
Way to go, Tony.

Last night we learned that our closest friends' son is finishing up paperwork Monday to join the Army and go to Iraq. He'd never considered military service as a career, but he's a news junky who devours everthing on foreign policy, and I guess he couldn't stand to sit on the sidelines anymore. For the next several years I may be clutching at stories like this.
