Next Thursday is Ascension Day - the day Jesus escaped from the Cave. The ever present Talibans are busy with their Spring offensive! So far 2,357 American soldiers fallen here in Afghanistan, almost all men and almost all aged 20-40 years. Hostile fire, helicopter crash, roadside blast, small arms fire - Green on Blue (Afghan soldiers turning their weapons against trainers), MIA - Missed in Action.. Some names not reported yet.. Homecoming for these identified - or unidentifiable - their coffins draped in the Stars and Stripes - the U.S Military developing all their heavy magnificence. For recipients, the silent and teary, it's "he" brought home - husband, father, son, lover, companion. A huge collective spectacle, but the grief is private, remembering his last words: "I Love you".
