KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban suicide bomber rammed a vehicle loaded with explosives into an armored NATO bus Saturday on a busy thoroughfare in Kabul, killing 17 people,
including a dozen Americans, in the deadliest strike against the U.S.-led coalition in the Afghan capital since the war began.
God Bless,Rest in Peace Warriors...........

They were just simple soldiers their ranks are growing thin
But their presence should remind us; we may need their like again,
For when countries are in conflict, then we find the soldier's part
Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.
If we cannot do them honor while they are here to hear the praise,
Then at least let's give them homage at the ending of their days.
Perhaps just a simple headline in the paper that might say:
OUR COUNTRY IS IN MOURNING, FOR A SOLDIER DIED TODAY. (author unknown)
The passing of our soldiers often go unnoticed and unsung by most of the world, remembered only by families and friends. Wish it were not so. May they RIP, their families will be in my thoughts and prayers.
