I found out on Friday that one of my better friends from high school was killed in Afghanistan. We only talked on occasion over the last several years, and now I can't help but regret that....

He graduated from West Point last May and was shipped out in late June. Only there for a month, he was the victim of roadside bombing.

Here's the story: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08217/901680-54.stm

I ask that you all keep his family in your prayers. They're great people and its a shame to have their son taken from them so soon.
