You are so right in you asking your readers to think about how we have it here compared to other places in the world that ae just so poor they can not be so concerned about medical or dental needs till it is too late. <BR/><BR/>I have been to many places in my 22.5 years in the Navy and the Philippines to me is a very poor country when you get out of the bigger cities. I have seen how the poor in Western Samar suffer. I have been to and lived on Sto Nino island visiting my wife's family many times. Our last trip was in May/June 2007 and was very saddened by how many children walk around with injuries. Open wounds that in America would be stitched up vice being open and infected. We sent a lot of medical supplies ahead of our trip for our use just in case. When I saw a small boy from the family with a wound on his hand that was very large, red and inflected, I took our medical supplies and cared for him. It is so sad that most Americans take things for granted while others suffer daily around the world. <BR/><BR/>Please pass onto your crew that this CPO is very proud of what they will be doing over the coming months. I wish I could be there with you all.<BR/><BR/>LIC J.T.
