The Free and the Brave
This song was written during my second tour in Iraq as part of the surge in 2007, and recorded after I returned home. The story behind the video is here.

Out Brief Candle

Greyhawk

The Mrs is away for a while.

One of those knew it was coming phone calls came from home, and within a few short hours she had packed the black dress and boarded a plane. The rest of us are here contending with work and duty and school and school plays that mom won't attend and hopefully remembering to feed the dogs and hoping we don't each feed them more than twice a day because the dogs won't utter a word of complaint about that...

So if you don't see a Dawn Patrol around for a while, that's why - though I wouldn't be surprised if we do. (Still, perhaps it's a good time to review the archives, see what you might have missed.)

But back here in the control room there's a post waiting - one she wrote last week because she wanted to make sure it wasn't forgotten. That's the same reason she does everything she does here.

But for a few days she'll be spending time with someone else who won't be forgotten. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
