Saturday January 10th I spent the day on a army reserve base in Shoreham NY.  No I was not preparing to go to combat. I did not join the army but I was helping the reserve soldiers with dental exams to prepare them for combat.  I meet many young and older soldiers that were all committed to protecting our country.  They are from all areas, Connecticut , New Jersey and New York.  It was a great experience for me. Being able to contribute to our country by helping our soldiers was the least I could do in these uneasy times. I would like to thank all of the men and woman who are protecting our country while we try to go on with our lives in a secure and safe environment.
