Better have DHS keep an eye on this guy

Gee, Iraq war veteran; attorney in a prominent civil litigation law firm; military attorney; active in their community and their church --- Wow, we better alert Homeland Security and Justice Departments to keep an eye on him; sounds like a potential "terrorist" to me!

(Mr. Gambone, thank you for your service to our great country, and for the services you provide members who defend her!!!!!)

Veteran Friendly Attorney--DHS Watch

Dear Veteran in Communist Massachusetts ,

No calls from the DHS yet but I have had the wonderful experience of being put the "extra security check" at the airport when I passed through the security gate. Never mind the fact that I was in uniform, with my military id and .......................headed back to Baghdad after two weeks of R&R with my family in Philadelphia . Meanwhile there was probably a half dozen shady individuals walking right on through the gate no questions asked as I stood there trying to get my combat boots off as they torn through my ruck sack!!

I look forward to serving my fellow veterans and helping them resolve their legal issues. If you have some time please visit my website at www.vsblawyer.com for more information about my services. I thank you for your service to our country.
