"I don't even know what to say to something like that. Those people are worse than animals. "

Let me say it for you. Kill'em all!

The father was very impressive, and although grief-stricken, was able to speak with eloquence and patriotism. God bless the entire family.

My feelings exactly. I salute Mike and his Dad and pray his family gets through this.

...must be because of the mass exodus and retirement that the clintoon years inspired...

[SouthernBelle]

Amen.

He was only 32 years old, and a former colonel? Something is wrong there

That's probably "corporal", which would be about right.

El Gato, please ref. my response #13.
I served in the U.S. Marine Corps and achieved the lofty enlisted rank of corporal E-4 at age 21.
You are either 14 years old, or a clueless adult, but there is little correlation in the military between
E-4 and O-3 or O-4.

Semper Fi ...

THanks. I'm originally from Alabama. Good people in all those small towns.

God bless 'em cause they are the back bone of this country.

Its so sad to see good people die because of those pigs.

You are correct. Mike Spann was an Officer rather than an agent.

I had the honor to serve peripherally with some of those PM guys during my time in the middle east. They are the best of the best.

Hand Salute to Mike Spann. He was an inspiration.

Thanks for posting his picture, may God comfort his family.

Bump for you.
