JORGENSEN, DWIGHT CHRIS:
I don’t understand why people like all of you enjoy talking crap about someone you never met. Just because someone is on drugs doesn’t make them a bad person. In fact Dwight is one In a million. He was in the national guard and fought for your freedom. He has done 3 tours and on the last tour to Iraq he was injured by a mortar and was one of eight that was given a purple heart. He has the biggest heart and would help anyone in a second without question. You should all stop being so ignorant and take a look at yourselves before you start judging other people.
