    I don't know about you but this for me was very hard to watch, even though he is on his way to a full recovery. To watch him struggle to get words out wrenched at me. There is no reason for this. A man lucky enough to come back from two tours in good physical health.

    What really got to me though, is his will and strength to continue on speaking out for what he believes in, and his optimistic attitude. Though he could not quite get the words out he expressed this movement will only get stronger. With people like him in the world it sure should. He sure made an impression on me. Thank you Scott Olsen, we all are waiting to see your full recovery. You definitely have the strength to do it. Thanks for the inspiration and get well soon.

    I hope this not only brings attention to this movement, but to all Veterans in general. They should get much better when they get home than they do now. Certainly much better than this.

    @gavemehope: I watched Scott yesterday on the Ed Show and I was so proud of him. I love how he smiled when he was trying to get the words out when he was confirming his position with the movement (you could still see the frustration on his face though).

    That is so amazing to see him back out marching. People like him are why this peaceful movement won't be stopped. Never stop fighting for what you believe in. Might be just instinct after two tours to jump right back in no matter what, but it is damn brave to me. Gotta love that guy. Thanks for posting that.
