Justthisguy, that’s a fine and ancient tradition you’ve just completed, dating at least back to Homer, pouring out your drink to the earth for the dry, thirsty heroes in Hades.

Indeed, may they never be thirsty again.

Was reading Balko’s site, and read about it there. Went over and read the last post.

Dang! I had heard about the guy, occasionally, but never looked up his stuff to read it.

I have just now gotten back from stepping outside and spilling a bit of the beer I’m drinking, on the ground.

May he thirst not, wherever he is!

Andrew was one of my very first design clients, a good friend and a good man. We honor him for his service and sacrifice.

The official word is out. Small arms fire in As Sadiyah; ambush. Also killed was CPT Thomas J. Casey, 32, of Albuquerque. The RMN site has a comment from a relative of Casey indicating the CACO notification was not done perfectly.

Assuming I make it through this school I will follow Olmsted’s example and make a ‘just in case’ post for wherever I’m eventually deployed.

I will miss them both and wish a lighter healing burden on their families.

Wow. I am crying at my desk reading his post.
