A little light humor this morning. The picture below was on the main page of AKO. Know it's not a Wikileaks-level find, but I thought it was funny.

RIP Andrew Hand
Please read this article on PFC Andrew Hand. All of my best to those who perished with him as well. I knew Andrew and remember him only to be a quiet but confident person--full of ambition.
It was interesting to read that he actually turned down an opportunity to move off the line for a new assignment but said "he didn't want to leave his brothers". Truly a tribute to his character.
Andrew's death is certainly a tough taste of reality for me. Having others in my close groups of friends and family deployed has given me my own perspective, but Andrew was the first person I have known personally to have died serving overseas. Not only did Andrew serve his country, but he did so both in Afghanistan and Iraq--twice. His sacrifices in life and in death will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
