I hope I'm doing this right.
I don't have anything to say about the Major that isn't better said there, but, I wanted to spread it around a little more. Follow the link at anewtone to Major Olmsted's blog for his own Final Post.
"Greater love hath no man..." etc etc. I'm sorry. that's so trite. I'm going to go have a beer and pour a libation to a modern American hero who died exactly, it turns out, the way he said he'd claim to have died, if anyone asked.
Hail, Major Andrew Olmsted. Bright blessings shine on you and all you loved.
And thanks, from a fellow American.
