Special kudos to Cali Bagby, your general manager, for her thoughtful and well-written editorial this week. It could only have been written by a veteran. I remember when she accepted the invitation to speak at St. Davids Episcopal Church Women group a year or two ago and that Cali indeed understands veterans; she was an embedded journalist in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you, Cali, for your service.
