A terrible coincidence

A terrible coincidence August 27, 2006

On the very day (August 25th) that I blogged that Cpl. Stephen Bixler was Connecticut’s most recent fatal casualty in Iraq († May 2006), Marine Cpl. Jordan C. Pierson of Milford was KIA in Anbar Province.

Cpl. Pierson (pictured at left, below)…

…was 21 year old.

I Love Treasure Trooper!

This has become an obsession of late...

I've written about it here
You won't make a million dollars but you'll definitely pick up a few extra bucks every month.
It's great for students, stay-at-home moms, home schoolers, and people who are easily distracted (like me)...
But I love the Red Sox more

Suicide in the trenches
-by Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain,
No-one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced cowards with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you�ll never know
The Hell where youth and laughter go.
