    I wasn't sure how to post this since I don't know the person but I received a very nice email from a guest of these forums (not a member I do not think where they can post for themselves) and I wanted to wait a few days to see if my letter bounced back but this person was almost absolutely sure the address was still accurate. She did a lot of research to connect some dots to confirm her belief that the address is accurate. Unfortunately, I've frustrated her LOL that I haven't shared her belief that the address is correct so I apologize for that.

    So please do go and write a letter, a poem, draw some art...something to wish Tomas well. We won't know unless we try and we have nothing to lose.
    Thanks

    So far this is the only address we have. After some investigation it still seems valid. Will let people know if I get something back in the mail.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    We can't let this be lost in all the Wrigley Field drama. This is just too important

    Another sad story of our goverment not taking care of our soldiers. Look at the soldier that killed Bin Laden as well!!! Oh and the soldiers that were injured in the Ft. Hood shooting and on and on and on!!! The lazy and the stupid in this country get more benefits then these men who gave limbs and then some for this country!! Why isn't Ed screaming from the rooftops about this??? :twisted: :cry:

    That's really sad news.

    I still haven't seen the film but one of my most powerful PJ concert experiences was "No More" at Nijmegen in 2007. The crowd for the most part had probably never heard the song before, and those of us who had could only have heard it a handful of times. Yet the power and intensity that audience invested in the song should make Tomas feel that his story (which most people there had probably just heard for the first time from Ed on stage) affected people thousands of miles away.

    Even if the film made no material difference to the system, his story was worth telling, and what he did with his life after coming back was more than worth doing.

    I hope he gets his wish of a peaceful death with the ones he loves.
