BARKSDALE AFB, La -

President Theodore Roosevelt once said, "A man who is good enough to shed his blood for his country is good enough to be given a square deal afterwards." Those are words that Elizabeth Melahn says she lives by as she helps wounded warriors at Barksdale Air Force Base. And words she lived up to when it came to Tim Lee, a guardsman who was wounded at war two years ago in Iraq, and whose Purple Heart award got lost in the system.
