A sad reality

Tue Jul 24, 2007, 7:17 PM
  • Mood: Sadness
  • Reading: HP and the Deathly Hallows- which rocked!!
  • Watching: Transformers! I so want the cartoon now
"The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

Pfc. Zachary R. Endsley, 21, of Spring, Texas, died July 23 in Arghendab District, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when his unit was attacked by enemy forces using indirect fire. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, Hohenfels, Germany."

----

It doesn't feel real. Zach took art classes with me in high school. He lived 4 houses away. And while we were never especially close, he was one of the few guys in high school that was nice to me. Every now and then over the years since graduation I'd see him outside, mowing or something. I just can't grasp that he isn't here...

Yeah tell me about it. I've had several friends that knew people who've died overseas, I guess it was only a matter of time for me to know someone personally. It's just so disheartening...

No need for apologies. Words just never seem to do justice to these kinds of things anyway... *hug*

Things like this make make it so hard for me to make my mind on the war. Clearly I'm dateing a U.S. Army Reserves man who has been over seas, shot at and almost blown to bits on more than several occasions. I won't get diplomatic and start a debate here. However I will in honor of Zack and the others who have died over seas...Though many may agree or disagree with the war and how it's handeld and the pollitical side of it. I try and seek comfort in the fact, everyday, that they didn't die in vain. I live in silent fear everydy that Steven will get sent back over. Espically now in a time of hightend terroist action. And it's hard to make that thought real, and will be ever harder to make it a concious thought when he does go back. But that's what I do...though other may not agree with me. They do what they do because no body asked them. Because somebody has to. So in order to ease my mind about those who have died...i just try and think postive in the fact they went out projecting something the loved.... us...
