I have previously directed readers to different blogs – and whether you read them or not is up to you (there is no reason to take my word as what you should and should not do in your free time) – but if you have not read those blogs/sites, please, if you do nothing else, read the site I am attaching below.
It was a blog written by Andrew Olmstead, an active duty soldier who was recently killed in Iraq. It is one of the most incredible things I have ever read, especially the final posthumous entry – It brought me to tears, and made me rethink my own existence. I wish I had something more to say, but I don’t, so here it is.

i read this right after his death...and i still go there to read old postings.
with my son going back to iraq soon on his second tour with the marines, i tend to stay away from things like this, however...
...he gives us a view of what is there we all need to see. it gives us the power we need to continue to fight this war, in this place our soldiers shouldn't be forced to go...
btw, you helped inspire my blog post today...
