War
Michael Yon has a fine blog. If you love our men and women in uniform and want a bit of insight into their trials and triumphs in Iraq, visit Michael's blog. It will make you smile and cry. (HT: Michelle Malkin)
Last night I met up with a couple of old friends. It was the 9th anniversary of our friend Gary Tillman's death. Gary played bass for the band I played in in college. He died in a tragic skateboarding accident at UCSD at 20 years of age. Pat, who was there last night, was with Gary when he fell.
Joe was there last night as well. His cousin, Marine Cpl. Erik H. Silva was killed in Iraq, April 3, 2003. Joe's younger brother, Diego, is now in Iraq with the Marines. Diego signed up after Erik's death. War is so terrible. Why You would allow Erik to fall, is beyond me and I can't imagine that You would allow the Hernandez/Silva family to lose another son. I ask Lord that you protect that young man. Not that he's any more special than all the rest, but because his family has suffered enough. Have mercy, please.
