I have been on the fence about posting this but I finally did on my other site, Macabre fitness. Recently a friend (really a brother) of mine was mortally wounded in Afghanistan. I wanted to write my last moments of peace I had with him but I feel that it is not in theme with Veggie. But I feel that his spirit needs to be shared. I love that guy and I am heart broken beyond words. It is amazing the company of heroes I served with. Stop over a see what an amazing person he was.
God Bless you B. Scouts Out!

Casserole of Disaster 
I’m sorry you lost your combat brother, Bill.
Some would say that’s the way it goes, but that’s cold hearted.
I read your writing at the other blog, and like I said there, Thank you for having the courage to vocalize something so few of us will ever go through.
