Distant military friends deserve support
As the approaching fall summons students back to Madison, many of us prepare to say goodbye to one set of friends and hello to another. Over the summer, we experience the familiar scene of catching up with our high school pals, exchanging stories of our collegiate capers and learning who got married, pregnant and who still works at Wal-Mart. But the rendezvous is never complete. Friends are always missing, often reflecting the absence of those high school buds who are serving America in a foreign land.
