Blogosphere has its first war casualty
Thanks to Citizen Smash for getting the word out that Milblogger Bob Zangas was killed in enemy action in Iraq this week and letting the blogosphere know that one of its own, as well as an American and fine soldier, was one of the civilians killed the other day.
I'm sorry to say that I wasn't familiar with Bob's blog--I missed out on him and the good things he was blogging--he gave terrific personal commentary about working for the CPA as a Civilian Affairs Officer and was a Marine Reservist.
Go read his last blog entry and also see his photos of Iraq and himself.
He was a fine and happy looking young man and he closed his entry with the wish that we "hang onto our dreams."
We will, Bob, thanks in no small part to great Americans like you.
Bob's loved ones have arranged for you to leave your message of last respects at this location:
Bob Zangas' Journey In Iraq.
Semper Fi, Bob. Rest in Peace.
