I have just finished reading the article, " A Death in the Family", by Christopher Hitchens, Vanity Fair.
I was directed to this article by a radio talk show host. Not personally but because he was reading the article and I was driving so I could not finish hearing the story.
To say that I only served twenty and a half years in the Navy is a short time compared to the time that Mark Daily's parents will eternally miss him. I also like Mr. Hitchens did not know this individual but having read his reason for going to Irag and his story has impressed me alot. I will remember him because he made me shed a couple of tears. Believe me when I say I do not shed a tear that easily. As they say in the, Navy Fair Winds and Following Seas, Soldier.
