Today I salute A1C Carl Anderson.

He was killed by an IED in Iraq on my birthday (Aug 29th, 2004).

Carl was a friend and a good Airman, he's a true hero who gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country, for that ALL of us are in his debt.

:-)

My shame at never having served is tempered only by my pride of what I do to support the troops.

Much respect and honor to all who have served in time of conflict or peace.
