So, go meet Sergeant Amanda Pinson. Not a Medal winner, not a deserter, just an average soldier, doing what soldiers do. Don't miss the update, which puts a face to the name.

And like me when I deployed, she left some instructions for her family, too.

Mine never had to be read. Hers... well, now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance: In Memoriam.

We can't honor them all in this space individually, so we honor them through representative samples.

Since her family seems to be reading Chuck's site - leave your condolence notes there.

If you have something rude to say, please leave those notes here, along with an address and phone number where you can be reached. ;^)
