We have had about 4 die in Iraq in our town here in Northern NJ, just one town in all of the USA. A few were in school at the same time as my children. I am not going to say a lot in this post about the war, or being a soldier in the war, because there is a man who does it so much better, Andrew Olmsted. I am sure this is one of many links to his final post to his blog, posted by a friend at his request after his death. (Yes, you’ll need tissues…esp. toward the end of the post.)
