12 years ago this week, four of my closest friends were killed during the invasion of Grenada. Having served alongside these brave men, I always take a moment every year at this time to tell them that I haven't forgotten. If you are able save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance as you are leaving for the places they no longer can go Be not ashamed to say you loved them though you may or may not have always And in that time when men feel safe to call war insane take one special moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind Michael Davis McDonald (1970) I hope you guys are okay; I'll talk to you next year.
