We have lost two more soldiers since last Monday's post.  One of the saddest stories is the death of Sgt. Cable as he was stabbed in the neck by an Afghan teen as Sgt. Cable played with some local children. There is no word on the condition of the Afghan teenager. Freedom isn't free at all; someone has to pay for it.  Please make it a point this week to go out of your way and thank a soldier.  It's a good habit to get into!
