I have lost some Sailors and Marines. Some to the war, some to training, some to suicide, some to cancer...the list goes on. Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, or just get down, I think of them. Think of the sacrifices they made. Remember them.
This Memorial Day is especially solemn, as we remember a dear friend who left this earth far too soon. I hope that when I return to Chicago, I can run the Soldier Field 10 miler each year in his honor.
