Ladies

On a much more serious note, take a moment and send up a prayer for the family and friends of Mr. Richard Holbrooke, one of the United States best diplomats ever, who died tonight. He had a lead role in liberating Kosovo and was a dedicated stateman working his entire career for freedom and the rights of others around the world on behalf of the US. He represented all that was good about our country. He is a great loss to the world. RIP Mr. Hollbrooke. I'm sure you will meet up in heaven with those you couldn't save; and they will thank you enormously for those families YOU DID save throughout your public service life.

Yesterday morning my son had on Fox news and they reported his death. My son, who is a Major in the USAF was very saddened. It sounds like he was a well respected man. Sorry to say I really didn't know who he was and will now learn about him after his death. Yes, prayers for his loved ones and thankfulness for what he represented to our nation and other nations.

I'm ashamed to say I didn't know who he was although I had heard his name
before.
