Sorry I am struggling through an chapter in
'Blog of War' that is rough for me, the seventh chapter is about the Fallen and it is sacred and profane at the same time for me. The toughest story starts on page 229. It is the story of Lt Col Michael Strobl's journey to help fallen Marine Lance Corporal Chance Phelps arrive home so his family and friends can deliver him to his final resting place. I am blown away by the outpouring of sympathy the Lt Col meets along the journey. If this means anything coming from a former Army enlisted guy, Semper Fi and carry on my friends in the Marine Corps.
For my few family, friends and the few people who have somehow found this blog... I feel remiss if I don't at least provide a few links:
1) If you don't understand why we are doing what we are doing, please go
here and listen as the President of Afganistan explains it. His English and reason are both excellent. He begins and ends the video.
2) The
Nie on the internet.
3)
Transparency rules! Bloggers welcome the signing of the pork database law.
Sorry... That is all.
