    A Soldier Blogs His Own Death

    By Jeff Fecke | January 4, 2008

    Blogger G’Kar of Obsidian Wings was known, in real life, as Andrew Olmstead.  He served in Iraq.

    He was killed yesterday.

    He left hilzoy at Obsidian Wings a message to post if he died in service to his country.  I’m not going to excerpt it.  You simply must read the whole thing.  Whatever your views about the war in Iraq, you owe it to Olmstead, and to all the other soldiers whose voices we have not heard.

    My deepest sympathies to his family, and my deepest gratitude for his service.

      Andy’s service and sacrifice allowed me to stay at home and raise my children in the safety of my home, and I cannot thank him or his family enough for his service and their sacrifice. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

      It’s too bad he died for corporate interests. The Iraq was is a puppet for big oil, and that poor boy fought and died to make money for rich white people.

      Where can you find new photos of Paris Hilton?

      I found a few sites, but quality is a problem.

      You gave great points here. I made a research on the subject and found nearly all peoples will agree with your blog. This can be done in one of a few different approaches.
