I have spent seven of the 12 years I have been married a victim of political persecution. I must be the first male spouse being held hostage by a regime.

Everyone needs to be proactive and know the various warning signs of cancer. Early detection and research to make detection easier at earlier stages, along with the treatments needs, is still a must. I salute all those winning the battle.
How can we salute - encourage the American spirit? That means many different things to many different people.
