These photos were taken at an event held to raise awareness (and money) for veterans who are adapting to life-changing injuries.
I was opposed to the first Gulf War. Robb and I marched in protest to the second Iraq war.
But that doesn't mean my heart doesn't go out to every single person who is touched by war. Quite the contrary.
I think it would be best if we all look at the photos, and read what's been written about this event, and then think our own thoughts. Let's not use the comments section on this blog to argue about our feelings on the wars that the United States is involved in, or air our grievances about American presidents.
Instead, let's consider what it this event might have meant for these soldiers and their families and friends.

I'll be ruthless about deleting antagonistic comments, even if I agree with your viewpoint.
If you feel compelled to argue about politics, please find some other place to do so.
I salute each and every one and they have my respect and gratitude.

I can't help but wonder if these guys have a kitchen drawer full of them. And if they have a dough hook option. I mean hell, why not? If you've had to suffer the loss of an arm, at the very least medical technology can compensate you with a full line of adaptive clip-on gadgets.
Robb rides the same model trike as the yellow one in the photo.
You would love BORP's cycling center. They take the idea of adaptive cycling really serious, and will do whatever adaptation necessary (including duct tape) to get a disabled person out on the trail.
