Brownwood: A War Within & Pfc. Jacob Hounshell
There is a old South African saying "It takes a Village to raise a child". Where was the village when soldiers returning to Brownwood and Brown County from serving their country were crying out for help ? Where was the local media when they were approached by the family for help ? Why was it left up to a caller to broach this topic on the Brownwood talk radio airwaves a week after the story appeared in the Fort Worth Star Telegram ( a paper that is used as a source extensively by KXYL Talk Show Host James Williamson ! ) ? What does all The Flag waving, the yellow ribbon campaigns, the boastful and bositerous talk of patrotism, the candlght community vigils and such reflect when a returning soldier cannot get the medical help from his goverment and from his "village". It is my belief, in order to truly honor Brownwood Marine Mario Castillo, we must ensure that all of his fellow soldiers who are fortunate enough to return home receive the medical help they require and deserve.
