It's growing because of the need, and some transfer of services to San Antonio. The staff are innovative as well as dedicated. I'm always proud of our service men and women but I'm also proud of those who care for them at places like BAMC.Robin Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220254637220915136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-37016920823087123012010-01-06T16:30:42.211-06:002010-01-06T16:30:42.211-06:00this man is very giving. i am amazed at anyone th...this man is very giving. i am amazed at anyone that can make people laugh. thank God for giving him what he needs to live from the inside, from the heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-61093839286786736812010-01-06T12:11:14.670-06:002010-01-06T12:11:14.670-06:00Thank you Corinne, Jason, and Kathleen.

And though I doubt he'd say it, his story, I think, holds us up to our own mirrors, forcing us to look at ourselves and ask: Could we do this?

Thank you for coming here today and reading and commenting. Henline's story is a standout for so many reasons that what we see of his image on that first introduction becomes invisible. Henline embodies what O'Donohue meant when he wrote, "The invisible within us finds a form, and comes to expression. . . ."Maureenhttp://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-41502388317766017502010-01-06T07:34:04.000-06:002010-01-06T07:34:04.000-06:00Maureen ... thanks for another great story.

I spent quite a bit of time on Henline's site and I've watched the YouTube video at least three times, and each of those times I come away more amazed than ever at this kind of resilience, at that not-giving-up attitude Henline has. To stand up in front of people, as Henline does, and crack jokes. . . well, he's blessed with something most of us don't have.<br /><br />Henline has an extraordinarily strong family, too. One of his daughters recently won an award. A few stories have been written about her.<br /><br />Hope: I don't think you can ever have too much hope.Maureenhttp://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558065865093418290.post-4673367920266752412010-01-06T06:06:03.212-06:002010-01-06T06:06:03.212-06:00Maureen - You always point us to these interesting...Maureen - You always point us to these interesting and powerful stories of hope.

I'm so humbled by our servicemen and women. They give up so much, do so much. Thank you isn't enough. I salute both Henline's sacrifice and his service. What an amazing man.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
