I got an e-mail this morning......
Actually I get alot of e-mail, most of it spam, some of it funny, some just sick. Some of you peeps really are sick sick lil monkeys out there. I mean c'mon...I'm into midget porn as much as the next guy...sombrero's do not go with latex boots!!!! I digress... So anywho, one of my aunts sent me this morning, and I agree. Please follow the links and read the whole story if you'd like. We differ in politics greatly her and I, but I respect her and she respects me, because we can articulate what we believe....usually...:) Well folks, jesh, seems I have been doing more writing than forwarding lately. I apologize. But I had to bring this up. Don't remember if any of you remember me ever sending anything from the Mudville Gazette, but if you do, I hate to say, that a blogger, Andrew Olmsted died in Iraq, first report was Jan 5th, but now it seems, the 8th, by sniper fire, and so was Thomas Casey. Many Of you may be asking yourself "why is she writing me about this?" I try my hardest to understand things. I don't want to go by what the media says, I want to see what my men and women in the military feel, and what they are going thru because they are the ones that matter. Their the ones doing the hard part, both physically as well as emotionally, to do a job that many do not want to do, to somehow in some way make not only their families safer but ALL of us. I cried after reading his final post, one he wrote in case he died. But I too went back and read some of his work. Man he was good : ) and for the first time I saw his face here: I will not get political. Please take a moment and say a prayer for all in the military. Its a crazy world. You can find Andrews complete final post on his blog here. Take care goofs and friends!! |

Olmsted. Not "Olmstead."

Gary...duly noted, I had not edited my aunt's e-mail, but you are correct. Thanks for the notice.
That was almost too much to bear.
