Soldier blogs from beyond the grave...

As I was perusing msnbc.com this morning, I came across the story of Major Andrew Olmsted, killed in Iraq on January 3 (seven more American service people have died since him, bringing the US death toll to 3, 915). He had been blogging for some time, under a nom de plume, about the war, his experiences, life in general...

Major Olmsted wrote (and apparently revised a couple times) a final blog entry to be posted in the event of his death. It's a worthwhile read, as, I'm discovering, so much of what he wrote is...

Requiescat in pacem...
