Memorial Day

E-mail Print

Greetings this Memorial Day. I'm spending this important day quietly with friends in Florida. It was with these friends, just over four years ago, that I attended the funeral of our mutual high school buddy. Scott was an ex-Navy SEAL who was murdered along with other contractors in Fallujah in early 2004. We'll spend this day not at a big party, but in quiet remembrance of Scott and so many others who have lost their lives on battlefields around the world.

I'll not do any work today other than three radio interviews. Last week, however, I read the first chapter of "Moment of Truth in Iraq" for the Orlando Sentinel. Please click for the audio, and please remember to thank at least one veteran, or family of a veteran, during the course of the day.

Kindly,

Michael

Please give the gift of independent reporting. Your gift goes far and is used for transport, lodging, living expenses, satellite communications and for repairing and replacing gear that fails due to the rigors of the battlefields.  Millions of people, in more than a hundred countries, see these photos and words.  Your generosity goes very far, and is greatly appreciated.
