Jason Merryman whom I know from back home – although he went to a neighboring (and rival) high school – is serving in Iraq with the United States Air Force.
Another high school classmate of mine, Alex Engle flew in the bombing campaign as a member of the Air Force’s 363rd Air Expeditionary Squadrom.
I do think of both of them from time to time – along with the others serving in the Middle East – and hope that they are well and safe.
