Now, I know the jeopardy of having my first post just oozing with estrogen, but the man that wore that crazy blue shirt up to West Chester can’t possibly hit me for this one, and the only other likely culprit is LT Nixon, and I heard he’s spending all his free time trolling the upper midwest for men.<\/p>\n

So anyway, hello this ain’t hell minions! I’m your not-particularly humble correspondant TSO who has been waiting in vain for 4 days to find something blog worthy. And I think I found it.<\/p>\n

Meet 12 year old Minnesotan E’leese Madgett Manrique.<\/p>\n

\"eleese\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In her words<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I am going to ride from town to town raising money. We will create a place where any soldier in need of a place to heal can go for free.<\/em>The Ranch will not be fancy, in fact it will be humble. Just like the men and women that serve their country. Here in Minnesota we have a very good life. People in Minnesota have a long tradition of service and volunteering. Neighbor helping neighbor. The Ranch will be a number of cabins surrounding a lodge and dining room. Soldiers can spend the day lounging around. Taking a walk, going for a swim, or taking a horse out for a ride. Do ranch chores or relax, read a book, or have a good conversation, be our guest. For those who do so much for others, we thank you.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She’s getting support from Minnesotan politicians like Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, and Governor (and dare I hope, VP candidate) Tim Pawlenty. Either way, the story is humbling. Some people *cough* IVAW *cough* Codestink *cough* talk about helping the vets, and others just get on their horse and get it done. Not that I would suggest that any groups are less mature than a 12 year old girl of course. *cough* liar *cough*<\/p>\n

Anyway, here is a long article about it<\/a>, and if you are significantly less manly that I am, bring some kleenex. Thankfully, I am the paragon of manliness, and never succomb to such petty things as feelings.<\/p>\n

And, thus spake Ortner.<\/p>\n
