Sorry for being MIA for a few days. I'm in Atlanta for the funeral of my best friend from high school. He was a year behind me in school and a year behind me in his service to our country in Vietnam.
While he survived his tour of duty, they are pretty sure he was exposed to Agent Orange which his doctors say was the ultimate cause of his death.
He is survived by his wife and two beautiful children. I was proud to serve as one of the pall bearers and while he had a flag-drapped coffin and they played tapes at the memorial service at the mortuary, he elected to not have a full-flown military funeral.
While it is not my nature, I don't think I'm in much of a mood to respond to the heart-felt posts from a few days ago from a select few of you. My wife and I are staying with the family over the 4th for a visit and I think I'll just close up my laptop for now.
