Susan Sarandon Redux

Senator Clinton sponsored the "Purple Heart" stamp and since they expire, the permanent printing of the stamp by the Post Office. What follows was recently announced (3/17/06), by NY Parks Commissioner Bernadette Castro. She, as a millionaire Republican, ran for NY Senator against Patrick Moynihan, to whom she lost, and was appointed to run the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation office. When Hillary Clinton ran for Senator, she did not. "New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner Bernadette Castro Thursday began a nationwide search for Purple Heart medal recipients to share stories to be included in exhibits at the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor museum located at the New Windsor Cantonment State Historic Site in Vails Gate, New York. The facility will honor Purple Heart medal recipients, veterans who were wounded or killed while serving their country." As an Explorer I once winter camped there in, before it became an interpretative park and center. General Washington asked thousands of troops to stay on after the treaty had been signed with the British, just in case it proved to be a trick, though many would have liked to return to their families, they stayed over the terrible winter. Some molecular and other archaeology has been done there to understand it.
