Yo Homies!!
So today I was thinking about alot of things. Mainly, my freind Shane. Shane Harris was a very close friend of mine who was killed in Iraq in the Anbar Province by a roadside bomb. The remarkable thing about that is that there were six other men in that humvee and his body shielded anyone else from serious injury. Also, my brother Mike Kennedy is a Lt. in security forces in the Air Force. Needless to say I have a special place in my heart for the military. I love Michael and I loved Shane from the bottom of my heart and it still hurts me to think about not having him around anymore. In the middle of my thoughts I heard one of my fellow classmates say that 9/11 was a conspiracy and soldiers were stupid for fighting in a meaningless war.
I completely flipped out. I retorted by telling this student how stupid and ignorant he
is and that the "dumb soldiers" gave him the right to say stuff like that anyway. I felt good about my reaction.....for about five minutes. The nI realized how I must have embarrassed this person. I should not have handled that way. While it was happening I thought I was being so courageous for sticking up for my best friend but really I was only reacting in a negative way.
that's all for now!

P.S. The picture on top is Shane, the one on the bottom is my sister, her husband (Mike) and me. Always remember, the land of the free because of the brave.
