A shout out to the troops

I got a nice e-mail today from an old classmate of mine who’s now serving in Iraq. He found a reference to this site on the Times-Gazette site (possibly in the bio-note that follows my opinion columns).

No matter what your opinion on how best to respond to this or that international situation, I think we’re all in agreement about the serious debt we owe our men and women in uniform for being willing to go and place themselves in harm’s way — not to mention separating themselves from their families for months at a time — for all of our sakes.

    That’s funny–an old classmate of mine posted a comment on my site last week. He’s currently serving in Afghanistan after a stint in Iraq. Bizarre.
