Long, Slow Burn

Archery, motorcycling, water rockets, and other useless hobbies

I’m going to be leaving in about an hour to go to a memorial service.  I’ll be standing with the Patriot Guard to honor a too young Cpl. Richard O. Quill III.  Richard was a 22 year old U.S. Marine that died in a non-hostile accident in Iraq.

My mission and purpose is to show the family and friends of this brave hero, that their loss will not be forgotten.  It’s not about politics or my beliefs for or against the war.  It is about recognizing the loss of this family.

I am giving up my evening.  Well worth it.
