Battery Mulligan - Close Station, March Order. Report LD and RP at new position... Another veteran has started the trek down the road to Fiddler's Green. I can't say I knew fellow mil-blogger, retired Zoomie and veteran and anxious father of a deployed warrior Mike Reed (better known as Bunker) well, but we were emailers and commenters. While Bunker now has the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question, our thoughts rest with his family as they rearrange their lives around the huge hole that has suddenly appeared in... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/06/bunker_mulligan_rip.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/06/bunker_mulligan_rip.html Sun, 05 Jun 2005 13:50:28 -0600 Thank you for giving Bunker a "mil-blog" ceremony, so to speak...you have my gratitude. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/06/bunker_mulligan_rip.html#comment-26195 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/06/bunker_mulligan_rip.html#comment-26195 Sun, 05 Jun 2005 21:53:33 -0600 sigh....
