I'd like to ask your forgiveness for having neglected to give all of you
a more frequent update on Jay Walley's recovery.

Yes, Jay is able to read his mail. He is not able to reply.

Jay is finding himself locked in his mind, with no way out. The only way
anyone can understand his predicament is if one has lived though the
same experience himself.

He works every day on getting back what he lost to the stroke. As I
write this, it has been seven months and ten days since it happened.

The first few things Jay conquered was to have the feeding tube removed;
to sit on the side of the bed on his own; to stand with the assistance
of only one person; transfer by himself from the wheelchair to the bed;
and to walk, and so many other small things that we neglect to
appreciate in everyday life, just how significant they are.

The speech is coming back slowly.

Regretfully, Jay is having a hard time breaking this wall. It has been
the most difficult one. He is working with speech-language pathologists,
and physical and occupational therapists.

I know that Jay will not give up. If I ever see a look on him with this
thought on his mind, I will remind him that a "Jar Head" is not
permitted to quit.

The love and commitment to the United States of America for Jay began in
Alabama, where he grew up picking cotton. With the strong hand of his
father, and the love of his mother, they gave him a good foundation for
his life.

He has a strong conservative view, and he has not forgotten that what we
love and treasure, we must fight to preserve.

"We are like mustard seed."

"We must continue to tie knots on the fishing net."

The Marine Corps gave Jay a (Gung Ho!) personality, to take a stand and
not back away from what is right.

God gave him a wife to stand by his side and help him overcome the
biggest challenge of his life.

One of Jay's favorite expressions is: "come and join us in our next
gathering; it will be like a bunch of kinfolks you didn't know you had."

Come and join us for the Freedom 21 Conference in Reno, July 21-24.

Thank you for all of your support.

You're the kinfolk I did not know I had. We have missed you all.
