Michelle Malkin had this post today, and I just had to share it, after I was done standing up and saluting these men. Heroes, to the last man. You can read the post at Honoring the heroes of Operational Detachment Alpha 3336, 3rd Special Forces Group Be sure to watch the video. WP won’t allow me to post it here because it’s flash, but this is a must see.
Perhaps you saw the story this week, about the military jet that crashed into a suburban neighborhood in San Diego. Military jet crash in San Diego kills 3 on ground When I initially read it, my heart went out to the family members of the deceased, naturally. Whose wouldn’t?
It isn’t often that we get the follow up to many news stories. Usually the reporters hover long enough to get the basics, then they’re on to the next thing, and we forget about this incident or that one, because we’re bombarded daily with something else, something new, something that demands our attention right now.
I was touched to see a follow up to the story of the military jet crash, and even more saddened when I read about the man whose family was killed in that crash. No longer was he just some nameless faceless family member – he’s a father, a husband, a son-in-law. My heart broke for Dong Yun Yoon and I am glad Michelle Malkin got the heart of the story, the humanity of it. When it all boils down, the news stories we read aren’t about nameless, faceless people – they’re about us. And the least we can do is show someone we care. I hope you are compelled to.
