Happy Late Thanksgiving

Hey folks, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I headed south to Charleston, SC with three Marine buddies. I also had the pleasure of visiting fellow-blogger Pat, who was staying with his father there.

On the day after Thanksgiving my buddies and I took driving/walking tour of Charleston. What a beautiful place it is. At one point, out of curiosity, we drove onto the campus of The Citadel to look around.

Then, this morning I read this headline on news Web sites: Marine killed recently in Iraq was a graduate of The Citadel, the college is reporting.
“Capt. Warren A. Frank was killed in action while distributing humanitarian aid in the Ninewa province of Iraq Nov. 25, according to the college.”

Rest easy Sir. Semper fi Marine.

Now there's something to be thankful for. Men who devote their lives to achieving security and peace for their conuntrymen knowing at every turn they may be killed by ruthless cowards. That takes something more than guts.
