Tommy, maybe we could talk up the troops a little more BEFORE they get KIA. Maybe blog about some local soldiers, get some stories from their families.
I know the last thing I want to read about my nephew is that he died for no good reason in SOF.
His name is Brian Trumpower and he’s a (yep, it’s true) fighting Seahorse doing Corps of Engineer work in Afghanistan. He loves music, gaming and beer and has grown into an incredibly sharp young man. Send him a message on his MySpace page.
Don’t wait to see his name here.

When it seems that our sorrow is too great to be borne,
let us think of the great family of the heavy-hearted
into which our grief has given us entrance, and inevitably,
we will feel about us, their arms and their understanding.
