    Great photos, especially the group shots. It puts a human face on all the stories you see in the papers and on television.

    Was Michael Probst, the soldier who was killed, a close friend of yours? Sincere condolences to you and to his family. Too many young lives, full of promise, cut down too early.

    He was, he was killed on valentines day last year. I had to fly to dover in my blues and pic up the body and escort it back to california. Then me and 5 of my friends were paulbears in his funeral, It was probably the single hardest thing i've ever had to do, I leaked like a faucet the entire ceremony, full millitary honors. And every shot on the 21 gun salute just made it all the more real. He was 26 with a bachelors degree and decided he wanted adventure and physical training.
