Another Veterans Day footnote -

Staff Sgt. Russel Slay, USMC, graduated from Humble High School in 1994. He enlisted in the Marines and has re-upped twice since. All he wanted to do was serve his country.

The 10-yr. Marine was killed Tuesday, November 9 in the Al Anbar area west of Baghdad.

He earned the sad distinction of being the 100th Texan to die in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
