Lost Another One

[Nickle]

I regret having to tell you of the combat loss of SFC John Thomas Stone. SFC Stone, serving with TF Catamount, was hit by small arms fire during the defense of his FOB west of Kandahar yesterday. He was 52.

He was on his 3rd tour in Afghanistan.

Fortunately, I don't think I actually know him.

Hooah, Old Soldier.

Rest easy soldier

I never knew you but I thank you for your service and this sinner offers his prayers for you and your family.

It's like the media are trying to pretend there are not two wars going on right now.

It kills me that another American soldier has died in the war, but the newspapers top stories are about some moron hostage reporter who sucked up to the terrorists, got kidnapped, pleads for her life, and then got released after three months of captivity, and wants us to know that they didn't "harm" her.

But our soldiers dying in combat is treated like a traffic accident or something.

Godspeed, soldier.

Rest in peace, Soldier.

My thought is she gave them a cut of her book deal.

Peaceful slumber, SFC Stone. Thank you for your sacrifice and know that we honor you.
