"Remember Me"

I wanted to share this.
As well as my personal thanks to all those who serve, past, present and future. Most especially my wife and all my friends who served and are still serving (Angela, Deleon, Lori, Bruner, Justin, Rob, Craig, Dooley, Eric, Bill, Redford, Beeker, Bean, Z, Stocking, Mei Ling, Dan, Anya, Nate, Gene, Monte, Mike C., Woody, all the "majors", Paul, Kevin, Yoshi, dang, this list could go on and on)

It's five minutes, but it well worth your time. My appreciation to the creators.

Virgina Tech Massacre

My heart goes out the students, parents, professors, employees at Virgina Tech. Damn, that was a helluva thing to hear about when the alarm went off this morning. 33 total dead so far, including the gunman according to the press conference they just had. I cannot imagine the feeling of dread those countless parents and loved ones of the students must have gone/are still going through....God Bless.

I tell you what though. Was watching CNN and this student, Jamal Albarghouti, had a Nokia Cellphone and took video, (he's talking to CNN right now, so I got his name right) and wow..you know, it makes you think. In this day and age, technology gives us all the chance to be eyewitnesses to things. I mean there are some memorable, tragic shooting events in U.S. History (Luby's cafeteria in TX, the UT bell-tower sniper, the McDonalds tank thing in San Diego, Xerox shootings in Hawaii, to say nothing of school shootings), but very, very few have on-the-ground accounts like this young man provided.

Watch the video. This motha' runs TOWARDS the gunfire! My hats off to him, if he's not a journalism major, he should be. He's got the 'nads for it. Brave lad.
