Many of you have been following Cloy's story. He reported today for his third tour of Iraq. He has mental and physical injuries and has been fighting the VA for 18 months to get treatment.

Here is a speech Cloy gave about Iraq and his experiences there

Cloy's mom Tina is the woman Rep Obey called an "idiotic liberal". She has been in DC since January lobbying to end the war in Iraq.

Well Cloy reported today for his third tour and was told he doesn't have to go.

Thanks so much to all the DUers who prayed for Cloy and helped Tina. :yourock:

1. What great news!

And what a relief.

2. They are going to give him the care they denied

and are declaring him disabled.

Tina is just beyond thrilled.

You know this proves that in your face activism, which has been so roundly criticized here lately, WORKS!

I can't express how thrilled I am for Tina and Cloy!!

5. I am so happy for him... and his mom!

Perhaps his mom attracting so much attention in DC did the trick; the squeaky wheel gets the grease?!
Great news, thanks for sharing!
