• It's fathers day and coincidentally, I'm just getting to this blog today... what made me smile today... our 1 year old was sitting on the floor in her play area with her legs stretched out in front of her. She placed a plastic cup on each foot, smiled at me, ...

• I read this blog to my mom and she laughed- said it sounded just like you. I'm glad so many people have posted their support on this blog. It sounds like you were (are) a fine, and well-respected soldier. As an update, we had our daughter Amira in May. She ...

• All these years I figured prison life was more like the movies. An empty cell, nothing to do. A few books from the library and working out... and of course spending your days hoping not to get jumped (I guess that was accurate). But here you're telling me you can ...

• I got your letter today... I was thinking more gardening magazines than Redbook. I totally understand some of those magazines are off-limits. I'll write again soon.

• Hey David, Sorry I haven't written lately I've been so busy. And Al got a great job offer so we're moving to central Illinois next week, believe it or not! I'm actually turning down the biggest job promotion of my life (I was going to take over running an entire ...

• Hi David, It took some time to settle in, and the cold weather leaves something to be desired. Things have been rather crazy, I've started about half a dozen letters to you and not finished one! When J and M visited, they suggested I just do the same as you- ...

• Hi David, I just wanted to share with you something interesting today. The Movie What The Bleep Do We Know is a neat movie. In it it shows a clip from some science done with water by Manuto Emoto. It showed that by talking, praying or thinking positive thoughts towards ...

• On the bright side, you're not living in Joe Arpaio's Tent City. 115 degrees in an outdoors tent - in pink underwear. No coffee, no movies, no television outside of the Disney channel and the weather channel, Newt Gingrich's lecture series piped into the jails. No weights, no porno, and ...

• David, Thank you for responding to my letter so quickly! My mom has postponed coming to visit until the Spring. I'll write you a full letter soon (it's half done at the moment).

• Hey David, I just read the article in TIME Magazine. It was a very well written piece that really highlights the struggles of returning soldiers in a moving way. Bravo! for helping make public the plight of thousands of veterans out there. Take care! For those friends, acquaintances and loved ...

• Very powerful post this month. Everyone in the family sought out that article. My mom actually went to a couple different stores in search of the magazine. I wonder if there are people interested in keeping the program going? Or maybe TIME might follow up with a comment in their ...

• Hey David, we are looking at flights to come see you in May! Finally got things in order so she/ we can make it. Does May work? Please let me know via letter or here and I'll send you updated information for the visitor log.

• Julia, my understanding from talking to David is that he can't elaborate on certain things that occur inside the prison. If you don't hear anything about this, then this is probably one of those things. And David, it was great to see you this week! I'm sorry we can't return ...

• David, This letter makes me want to go watch it. I'll have to go look it up when I get some spare time. And what an interesting perspective, I never considered the psychological impact of PTSD in not being able to control your own feelings/ emotions which could lead to ...

• It's Veterans Day, David! You have not been forgotten. Your Facebook page has pushed another group attempt at getting Governor Quinn's attention this past week while he's still in office. We're still in hopes that he'll notice you. Keep writing us at the same place you've been writing for the ...

• You had 3 letters posted this week. The letter about getting the PTSD group going, and 2 posts sent with the check. Aside to this, nothing was posted since August. As for what you can do for people when you get out... I bet speaking to troops about the repercussions ...

• David, So sorry I haven't written, I'll explain in my upcoming letter (don't ask me how long that will take for me to get out) how super crazy things have been. I received at least two letters over the past 5 weeks from you, I think I got everything. I ...

• I am really glad to hear they're finally implementing something to help with the PTSD. But I'm still saddened by the fact that it has taken nearly 8 years for you to get any support. Although I can't imagine 8 weeks even being close to getting you where you need ...

• So I'm a bit confused on the differences between the programs that allow for early release. And what a full time employee would do for the Graham Vets that is not being done now? What can we do to encourage the prison Vet programs to be acknowledged? (On a side ...
