Keep it up. Cindy and I greatly enjoyed your hospitality on Thanksgiving. Thought of you guys as we spent Christmas day at Bill and Ailcey's. I'm sure it was one difficult Christmas. I can only imagine. Life has become so ridiculously busy, I rarely take the time to read or address anything but the most pressing issues especially when sleep deprived. (I got called in at 11pm and got home at 4am). Glad I took the time today. Hang in there, hugs to Marti. JB Ed,

I am sitting here at my desk with tears in my eyes. What a terrible waste of good people is this war! Please keep writing. I think the pen is mightier than the sword, because writing will live on. Blessings to you and your wife and Kevin. Thank you to Scott for his willingness to give his all so that others have the freedom to disagree.

I was thinking today of what a privilege it is to honor men like Scott. He really understood what serving others was all about. From the sweat drenched red clay of boot camp at Benning to a 3rd ID soldier in the sands of Irag he gave a priceless gift to his friends, family, and country. He did for us what we couldn't do for ourselves. Man what an act of grace and courage! I am weeping with you and Martha today for your loss. God knows your pain and is the only one big enough to swallow up Scott's death and wipe away all of our tears. Ed I found your blog through Bug.

I think of Scott often, along with others I have known personally to have lost their loved ones; one from the squadron I am a part of. I work for the AF in Wyoming. I, also, am distressed you have not heard from out 2 top leaders; Cheney, I really understand, as he is fast becoming a Billionaire as a result of this war. My prayers are with you and your family.
