Chopper Deaths in Iraq and My Brother

He's safe as he doesn't work with Apache's but we only found out tonight what happened. My Mom told me this evening that she heard about the crash this morning on her way to work but knew no details. I can't imaging how families of those on the ground working feel everytime they simply hear of more soldier deaths due to an IED or car bomb. Of course, it didn't help that Reuters recapped all the other major chopper crashes since we invaded Iraq. *sigh* I truly hope stories like this make you all appreciate your friends and family that much more. Life is short - love lots.
