Military families feel disconnected from the larger community, according to a poll commissioned by a military family advocacy group.
According to the results of the poll, 94 percent feel that way. Blue Star Families released the results of the 3,000-person survey at a roundtable on Capitol Hill led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The roundtable -- meant as one way to bridge the gap -- included Blue Star Families, the National Military Families Association, Tina Tchen of the White House Council on Women and Girls, as well as several members of Congress.

Bless you for what you do, Lietta. I just discovered your blog. I intend to keep up with it. I'm a Vietnam veteran. God help our misused & abused troops. Is Obama going to become the next Lynden Johnson, a great president with a war-blighted record?
Bill Moyers has wondered that aloud most recently in his interview with Bill Maher.
