I was watching one of your local TV stations last night and I saw this ******* Many at the airport in Bakersfield were expecting a man in a wheel chair because Barrientos lost his legs to an improvised explosive device in Iraq. Instead when the Corporal heard the Bakersfield Police and Sheriff’s Department Color Guard call veterans to arms, he stood and saluted and walked step by step towards a grateful community….. Cpl Barrientos looked around the crowd and saw the sea of mostly strangers there just for him. The tears and pride welled into his eyes. He was home and for the first time truly honored for his service to this country…… Several emotions flooded over me. Here was this young man (too damn young I always think), walking proud, tall, better than most of us with all our faculties intact, being honored by his grateful community. A man who gave not all, but too damn near. I couldn’t help but think, (too often at such times)...
