So here is the situation, and I know that I promised to be more positive and I am but something has happened. Something so tragic...something that I thought would never happen ever but it has happened, something that is so dramatic that the only other place that I could imagine it happening is in a movie of the week.

So my dear friend, if you live in Colorado you have probably heard her on the radio or seen her on television, she was recently suspended for having fake rifles in her car. But, before you judge you must hear the context she is a junior drill instructor in the Young Marines and she is preparing to have a big performance, so she had a reason to have them. She has been suspended for ten days and after her ten day suspension she will have to go to a hearing and present her case before a board.

I am just a little upset, confused, dumbfounded, insert any angry or confused emotion here, right now and don't know how exactly this could happen. I just feel like I am completely useless right now because I really want to help her, but don't know how. People who are complete strangers and don't even know who she is are signing petitions and making protest t-shirts, but I feel helpless. I really don't know what to do. I just really am praying, wishing, and hoping that everything will work out.

p.s. If you live in Colorado keep your eyes and ears open so that you will hear about this, if you haven't already. Link posted here:
