Major Andy Olmstead - KIA (Iraq)
RIP Sir...

-------------------------------

I just had this emailed to me. What a powerful read... seems that Major Olmstead was a "blogger" and kept up a military style blog on Iraq. He was KIA in country... and his last "blog" was posted. He had written it in the event of his death...

I found it very hard for me to read.

Rest in peace, Sir.

That's a hell of a death letter.

R.I.P. Sir ~S~

That’s one letter that describes a life loved and worth having lived. I only wish that we all could write one like that in the sense that we could be as happy about our life as Major Andy Olmstead was about his.
