Do you remember the story of Lex? The Gathering of Eagles wrote about him a few months ago. He is a retired U.S. Marine. He was the faithful companion of Marine Cpl. Dustin Jerome Lee until Lee was killed in action in Iraq. Cpl. Lee’s family brought Lex to live with them in Mississippi.

Cpl. Lee’s mother brought Lex to meet Senator McCain today in Meridian, Mississippi. They even got to right on the Straight Talk Express. I’m sure that McCain and his family were honored to be in the company of a renowned warrior like Lex!!!

Read more about Lex at the Gathering of Eagles blog and more about his meeting with McCain here.

John McCain has been touring the country as part of his Service to America Tour. Today he was at Hope Village which is a home for children who have had to be removed from the homes of their primary caretakers. It is a place of safety and … well … hope. A place where the children can grow and learn in safety when other alternatives are not available to them. The home was started in 2000 by actress Sela Ward.
