The last patrol 2005
March/walk for hospital
America' s last patrol, American legion, catholic war veterans, disabled American veterans, veterans of foreign wars, and Rio Grande valley citizens will march/walk from hidalgo county courthouse in Edinburg to the Alamo in San Antonio, for the purpose of bringing attention to the lack of medical facilities (hospital) for veterans in south Texas.
Whereas veterans in this area number around 60,000 and about 40,000 veterans residing in Mexico, plus our winter visitors surely exceed the 100,000 mark. The sole inpatient clinic in the Rio Grande valley (an 8-county area) has limited hours of operation and must refer patients to other facilities for tests or treatments. The nearest veterans hospital is more than 200 miles away in san Antonio (a 4 to 5 hour drive).
In may of 2004 the dept. Of veterans affairs acknowledged the need for improved and expanded medical facilities for the Rio Grande valley. The veterans of south Texas have gone too long without proper medical facilities.

I think you should make a front page post about it. :) Of course that is two keys getting switched, not being 3 days off on when early voting for the most important election this fall ends. Slightly different scale.
K-T,
If you have MS Word, simply copy and paste the ALL CAPS text into a Word Document. Press Ctrl+A to select all of the text.
From the Main Menu, select Format --> Case Change. When the Change Case dilog box opens, select Sentence Case and click OK.
Voila! Takes all of about 10 seconds.
