Everyone please pray for Mrs. Martha Stansell as she is currently in ICU
Mrs. Martha Stansell of Liberty SC checked into Greenville Memorial hospital a few days ago.The doctors at first thought she was without oxygen for around 25 minutes from the cause of a blood clot. They are certain that she did not have a heart attack. Her EKG was normal. They are not sure if she threw a clot to her lungs or if she had a bleed in her brain. She is in a coma and is on a ventilator. They have lowered her body temp to 33C and will leave her like this for 24 hours to preserve brain function. After 24 hours they will warm her back up gradually and see what happens. We were told that her pupils were equal and responsive.

Yesterday, President Obama told their story as it should have been told all along -- a story of patriotism, honor, and courage. Here's a short video to mark this important moment that you can share to help set the record straight and honor the service of Americans who fought in Vietnam:
