The Closest Yet.

"DIED OF WOUNDS 24 JANUARY 2007 FROM A SNIPERS BULLET IN BAGHDAD IRAQ NEAR HAIFA STREET.

If ever a man had no enemies it was him. When I hear an American died I always wonder if in 2 days I'll see a name or get a phone call. Now I'm making the phone calls and touching base with the old Company.

There are people you've never called and generally don't like but shared a baptism together that no religion can promise or would offer. Names have passed and we always say that any death is painful. But the closer it is the reevaluation and understanding of ones beliefs is either cemented or crumbled."
