Wednesday, May 21 2014 6:11 AM I KNOW MR.PRESIDENT THAT YOU DONT KNOW ME. I KNOW WHAT YOUR AGENDA IS. BUT I VOTED FOR YOU. I BELIVED IN YOU. I TRUSTED YOU. My name is Salli Castillo Im 42 yrs old. I live in Torrance, Ca. My grandfather served in WW2 I can only regreat not knowing what he went through. Because I didn't know to ask him before losing him for the rest of my life. But I've done my fair share of internet investigating which angered my mother. What I discovered was after service. He inlisted again imeadiately. Now my mother has no clue as to sacrafice what it is what it means. She never tought me how to stand up for someone nor my self. But my son is the 1 & only reason Im sending you this message.

Sacrafice to them means "loss"in a world that tells us we can have it all. However I belive true sacrafice is a victory. Because it requires our "free will" to give up something you love for something (freedom) or some one (my son) that you love more then yourself. I won't lie I don't not to you or a cop or a judge so I won't lie to anyone. Honesty is a gamble. And Sacrafice won't take away the pain of "loss" but It's to win the battle against bitterness. The bitterness that dims the light on all things of true
