Here is a Heartbreaking and Heartwarming Story by Mike Barnicle This Morning

BTW, to all members, here’s our how-to on posting images with your articles from our FAQ (you can always consult it at the top of the page for reference on this and all aspects of posting):

=======================

3. ADDING AN IMAGE IN YOUR POST – You must always add an image to your article and since this is a commercial site, the images must be royalty free/public domain (you can also modify an image you find or create your own graphic if desired).

a. FINDING AN IMAGE – Here are some sites where you can search for public domain images. When you select an image, copy its URL from your browser:

http://search.creativecommons.org/

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

http://www.everystockphoto.com/

http://www.picfindr.com/

You can find more sites at

b. INSERTING AN IMAGE IN YOUR POST – Click the square icon beside “Upload/Insert”. To use an image on the web, next click the “From URL” tab, paste the URL for the image in “Image URL” , enter a name for the image in “Image Title”, for “Alignment” select “Center” then click “Insert in Post”.

If you’ve downloaded an image onto your computer or created one, click “Select Files” instead and select the file on your computer to upload. When it has uploaded, copy the “Link URL” (you’ll need it in a moment), for “Alignment” select “Center” then click on “Insert Into Post”.

4. ADDING A PREVIEW IMAGE – You also need to include a preview of your image with each post, this is the image that appears next to your post on the Home page. To do this, scroll down to the “Custom Fields” section and below “Add New Custom Field”, use the pull down box to select “Preview” then in the “Value” box, paste the Link URL you copied in Step 3b. Click the “Add Custom Field” button just below it to complete this step.

The Preview Image function only works with images uploaded to our site so if you used a URL to another site for the image you inserted in your post, either download that or another image then upload it as described above, once it’s uploaded, copy its Link URL, close the Uploaded Image window then paste the Link URL in the “Value” box as described above.

Feedup, congrats on your first post!!!

As bitohistory said, don’t forget to always include your POV on any story you share, that’s what makes it unique!

Feedup, hey, you overcame your fears and posted! I’m a huge believer in overcoming fears. The article you cite is a sobering one, without a doubt.

A couple thoughts come to mind: there should be more options for kids who are “too poor to afford college.” Signing up for the Marines should be a choice for people who really want to sign up for the Marines, not the Plan B of dire necessity.

And I do feel for President Obama. I’ve been involved in peace movements of one sort or another almost all my adult life. I would never want to be in the position of having to make some of the decisions he’s required to make. It has to be just about the worst part of his job. Meeting with families like this one would be unimaginably difficult.

Hope to hear more from you in the future.
