Thanks to Hank Bostwick of the Star City Harbinger blog, my account of my first cousin, Mike Stiglich of Botetourt County, who was killed in Vietnam in 1969, has been further enhanced with photos, graphics and links.

Please click on this link to read all about Mike and to help keep our military personnel, both alive and deceased, in your thoughts and prayers this weekend.

Thanks so much for your phenomenal work, Hank.

Howard Dean statement on Memorial Day (Lowell - 5/23/2008 1:56:14 PM)
This weekend we honor the brave men and women who have defended our country and those who have lost their lives on the battlefield.  They deserve the very best in return, which is why the Democratic Congress passed the bi-partisan 21st Century GI bill to help them pay for college when they come home.  We believe that if someone is willing to put on the uniform for the United States of America, we should do everything we can to help them and ensure their success when they come home.  I'm proud that both of our Democratic candidates for president took time off from the campaign trail to vote in support of this important legislation.  The last thing Americans want is another president who will short-change our veterans.


This week our dead from every war are in my mind and heart (Catzmaw - 5/24/2008 12:09:33 AM)
every day.  My condolences on your loss, Steve, and condolences to all who've lost someone in service to this country.
