I just wanted to lend my support to Ulysses Milana, who wanted to join our military team (Sun Journal, Nov. 17). He wanted it so bad, he lost 140 pounds to do so. That took courage, willpower, commitment and almost a year to accomplish.

May God bless him and all those who believed in him and helped him to get there.

He has my humble support, also. I know how hard it is to lose weight. I lost 50 pounds not too long ago.

Yep, I sure missed my beer, too.
