He was immediately taken to medical attention and would learn later that his knee cap was fractured. Tom Jr. realizes he's lucky that he didn't get hit somewhere more serious. Days later the reality of it would hit him. "It's an emotional thing," he said.

"The potential of death is there." Family support Cindy still remembers when Tom Jr. called her to tell her about his injury. She was in the middle of something at work, so she asked if she could put him on hold. When he said no, she knew something was up. When he finally told her, Cindy said she was overwhelmed by emotion.

"At first it's just a panic," she said. "You just want to fall over." But Cindy found strength in her husband, who doesn't focus on the negative. He said there's always a chance of getting hurt, whether in Iraq or in St. Cloud. "I'm more proud than anything else," he said of how his While Tom Jr.

was in the hospital, Brent was able to go and see his little brother. Tom Jr. said he doesn't remember much of the visit because the medication he was on made him sleepy. But Tom and Cindy said it helped them to know that Brent was there for Tom Jr. "It kept us (on an) even keel," Cindy said.

Tom and Cindy say both of their sons have grown emotionally and mentally since joining the military. That growth came through during the stress of Tom injury. "They were soldiers through and through," Cindy said. "(Tom Jr.) really kept his wits about him." Tom and Cindy also knew that the other soldiers were there to support both their sons. When Brent, who isn't much for attention and declined to be interviewed, came home with his and Tom unit last weekend, Tom said the other soldiers took time to greet Tom Jr.

FROM PAGE 1B Volunteers strong because of the historic nature of both Barack Obama's and Hillary Clinton's campaigns, host committee spokesman Chris Lopez said. Obama pulled in huge crowds throughout the nomination fight one reason his acceptance speech has been moved outside the convention arena to Invesco Field at Mile High, Denver's pro football stadium.

"There is a lot of anticipation and buzz about him coming in here at the end of August," Lopez said. The host committee in Minnesota isn't ready to concede that the candidates' popularity has meant fewer volunteers on the Republican side. They pointed out they didn't post an online volunteer application form until late April, and many recruiting events didn't happen until early summer. They also point out the timing of the GOP affair, which starts on Labor Day when many Minnesotans are enjoying their last day of summer vacation. "We got advice not to launch (volunteer recruiting) too soon, because then you can get too many people," committee spokeswoman Teresa McFarland said.

"We knew we were going to get there, I don't think that was ever a question, but it is nice to have reached that milestone." To make their goal, they turned to pitches from the Democratic mayors of St. Paul and Minneapolis and a public service announcement featuring the Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl center, Matt Birk, and World Wrestling Enter- Times photo by Ben Stewart, Tom Flatley knee was struck as the result of a mortar explosion during his service in the National Guard in Iraq.

tainment star Mr. Kennedy. The committee also held several volunteer sign-up events, including one in western Wisconsin that coincided with a McCain town hall meeting. To Tom Knecht, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Denver, Obama is a big reason for the difference in volunteer numbers. "There's just a mystique and a buzz around Obama that there isn't around Sen.

McCain," Knecht said. And volunteering "takes another level of emotional attachment" than simply liking a candidate, he said.
