You Want Ice with that?

[Eagle1]

For 95 years, with time off for WWII, an important mission involves growlers, Albatross, Hercules, cutters, currents and islands and a foe that can't be destroyed except by time.

Prompted by a disaster that hasn't been repeated, a small team continues with their long-running mission, as explained here.

One Missing Soldier's Death Announced

[Chap]

I have received this public announcement from DOD.

DoD Announces Change-In-Status Of Army Soldier

The Department of Defense today announced the death of a soldier supporting Operation Iraq Freedom, who was previously listed as Duty Status Whereabouts Unknown (DUSTWUN).
Sgt. Anthony J. Schober, 23, of Reno, Nev., died on May 12 in Al Taqa, Iraq, of wounds suffered when his patrol was attacked by enemy forces using automatic fire and explosives. He was assigned to the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, Fort Drum, N.Y.


12 May was a hell of a fight. I'm very sorry to hear we've lost Sgt. Schober, one of four men reported missing from that fight.

Rest in peace, comrade.
