#4 My Nephew's unit returned from Anbar last year with no casualties, thank God. This weekend they get to bury one of their own who was killed in a stupid motorcycle crash a couple days ago. Life can be so short, and death so sudden. It's not just combat either.

And on topic: My prayers to these Marines and their families. Give to the Fisherhouse foundation.

#6 CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's going to be bigtime thirsty, and he's not used to it. The 1st one is fine. Watch the 12th. Stay safe.
