America Honors its Fallen

Thank you, America. Thank you Saint Joseph, Missouri and White Cloud, Kansas, and all the towns and farms that lie between them. Thank you, Patriot Guard Riders. You made me proud.

On Saturday (8 July 2006), I attended the funeral of PFC Brian Bradbury in Saint Joseph. PFC Bradbury was a forward observer with the 10th Mountain Division in Afghanistan. He died in combat on 21 June.

Go visit the bloggin' Chaplain - and get the rest of the tale.

I seem to remember the old DB to be in pretty bad shape, structurally. During my class' tour, there was netting suspended from the ceiling of the outer shell part of the cell block building we went into, put there to catch chunk on concrete falling down. So not only was the place not in keeping with current standards, it was just plain falling apart, and cheaper to build a new one than to bring the old one up to code.
