My son-in-law is a Special Forces Ranger veteran and a recent graduate
of law school.  When I told him about the discussion of this issue, he
became excited since he knows first hand of the challenges of families
of veterans, veterans, and war refugees.  He asked that I send thanks to
the list and all of you who are dedicated to assisting veterans in your
classrooms.
