Vince. I sincerely hope your swing with a club is better than your stroke with that big wide brush. Although I share your opinion on imperialist oil thieves etc, I seriously doubt any of these men and woman, are or were policy makers.

LOL @ great post by Markmary73. Brilliant (Fairways play, anyone?)! I saw the Irish TV news feature on this story. Saw the men and women playing golf on Irish courses with artificial arms and legs. I think it’s a tribute to the medical people who helped them to a new life after the atrocities of war. The Med people should also be given free “Thank you” gifts, like this one for the wounded. GEF has a point; maybe the NI Govt and Tourism people could organise something similar for their wounded, apart from what some of them achieved in the Olympics? Don’t forget to include Rep of Ireland golf courses for them too.

What about Northern Ireland soldiers wounded in Afganistan who fought with the US soldiers? What about a free holiday for them as well. After all it would cost less when they already live on the Island of Ireland.

There was a time when Ireland needed help from America and still do. I am pleased we can give this journey to wounded soldiers. It is people with big hearts that makes Ireland a wonderful place. I sincerely hope this visit to Ireland has lifted your spirits.
