A Return to Blogging

After a month long hiatus, I’ve decided to return to blogging. During that time I tried to return once before but I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of those killed in the couple of weeks I had been gone. However, I couldn’t let them go with a simple DoD release, I felt as if I had to put their names out there.
