Loss for Us

For Memorial Day, here's the most recent casualties of those who chose to fight for us. We may argue about their mission, but not their sacrifice.

Whether they ever fully expected to die is each one's existential question, but putting on that uniform is taking, at best, a calculated risk.

It's the day we give thanks to those on lists like this one. And deliver our barbecued offering.

I looked at as many of the soldiers'links as I could take and everyone I looked at died as a result of a 'make-shift bomb'.

That's waist deep in the big muddy... Middle East style.
