from Margaret's blog

Margaret Cho writes about how she was sent a package from a gal stationed in Iraq:

"She's a pilot in the Air Force, and her squadron watched my DVDs to keep up morale when they felt like there wasn't anything left to smile about. She included a group photograph, about ten men and women, dusty and tired, glasses raised up to me in the dark blue desert night. . .As a gesture of thanks, she sent me an American flag. I have never had one before. It came with a document that said the flag had been on a plane over Iraq in my honor, and that my name was added to the long list of freedom fighters who battle at home as well as overseas."

I got a little veklempt just reading it.
