Busymom.net: RIP Major Andrew Olmsted

Saturday, January 5

Andrew Olmsted, a Major in the United States Army, and, blogger was killed in Iraq.

Now, I know you find this hard to believe, but, I'm not a big fan of political blogs, I really don't care about your stance on the war in Iraq, and, I just kind of stumbled into it, but, this is a must read.

thanks ... This is a powerful read. I didn't know him, and had never heard of the blog, but I'm saddened to learn of his loss.

What a powerful post. The blogging world obviously lost someone special. Peace to his family during this difficult time.

Thanks for that link. Powerful, thought-provoking, emotional stuff. And sad. Above all, sad.

What a brave person. What a reasonable request - don't hijack my death to suit your ends.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
