Drove up to Philly to pick my daughter up from school yesterday - worked in the garden today.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting. We must never forget those that gave their all for us to be free and safe.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy - how are you doing tonite?

[jimfree]

Nice read. Those are movie script heroics. John Wayne or the like might have done this sort of thing in film. Sgt McCleery knew he was likely to be cut down any second but advanced to give his troops the best chance for survival and mission success. Thanks for posting it Kathy.
