A Soldier's Last Post
Andrew Olmsted was killed in Iraq, and he left a final post for such an occasion which hilzoy of Obsidian Wings posted for him. So play Freedom Isn't Free from the Team America soundtrack (an unsober reminder of the costs of freedom -- language warning) and give it a read.
Seriously intense, I love the guy's outlook. Thank you Andrew Olmsted.
I think I finally found a Major who's worth a shit.
Thank you, Sir.
I had the pleasure of meeting Andrew only once, and regret that he lost his life at such a young age. He will be missed.
RIP, brother. From a current 'guest' of the Iraqis.
Thanks for puttin' in your "buck-o-five"
Since Olmstead was obviously a fellow Babylon 5 fan, may he find his destiny beyond the rim...
Wow!! I've read this on about ten different web sites today.
RIP, brother.
