Someone to Admire : Paul Rieckoff

With the cynicism in Washington going full bore from the left and the right it is nice, every once in awhile, to observe someone who deserves nothing but respect and admiration.

This gentleman's name is Paul Rieckoff. He is the founder and Executive Director of The Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America. Witnessing him on Morning Joe late last week I was struck by his sincere, well spoken efforts to advocate for these soldiers, too often forgotten when they come home made one aware that there still are heroes among us.

If you get a chance to see him speak or advocate for these soldiers do yourself a favor and watch him.
