Perhaps you've seen this mentioned on numerous other blogs today, and perhaps, like me, you went past it, mentally filing it away in the "another time, perhaps" category. If so, I hope that you will, like me, stop what you're doing and take five minutes to read this post by a chaplain who was on the scene immediately after the bombing of the base in Mosul.
May God bless and protect this man and those with whom he serves.

I don't mind saying so, Chaplain Lewis is a braver man than I am.
Dying for your own country's freedom is a hard thing. Dying for another country's freedom is even harder.
Every time I read the headlines, I'm reminded how tempting it was to let The Guard "help me pay for college". A bunch of the guys I graduated with are over there now.
