"In times of peace they will call you butcher, murderer, and monster.
But in times of war, as the lion approaches their homes,

Iraqi soldier ID card I found after an airstrike in Kuwait.
The soldier wrote on linen with an ink pen,
then put a piece of thick plastic on the back and front,
and sewed it around the edges with thread.
It reads in Arabic:

RANK/  N Z Informer
NAME/ Ali Muhammad
DIVISION/ kmzh /117
BLOOD TYPE/  B+ / Muslim
HOMETOWN/ Khanaqin



"When you speak of him, say that he was my Brother."


Michael Morton was my platoon SGT in Germany.  I was there when he married Pietra in Germany, and was there when his first son was born.  Today that son is a U.S. Marine.
Michael rests at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 60,  Site 10186.



Quintin Mann was on my team in Iraq.
Quintin died in a vehicle rollover in Melbourne, Florida in 2011.
Today he rests at South Florida National Cemetery in Palm Beach County, Section 39, Site 297.
