Three American soldiers were captured by the Muslim jihadis this month. And the battered body of one of them was recently found in the Euphrates River. He was Pfc Joseph Anzac. I doubt that the fate of the other two will be better.
It turns out that my
Marine cyberfriend knows someone who knew him. He sent me some pictures he got. So I now have a kind of three-degrees-of-separation connection to him.
I have been thinking about these three a lot, --my stomach knows how much-- and now mostly about Joseph Anzac. I can't say anything else. I get too wrought up.

I would like to know the address of the ex-Marine's blog.
If you leave an email, I'll send it to you. And a point of language that I've learned: if a Marine leaves service honorably, as he has, then the preferred term is "former Marine". Ex-Marine seems to be reserved for expelled folks. A funny kind of USMC PC.
