I wasn't planning to post anything until Chris' birthday, but here I am. While I have never been to Afghanistan, I will always be connected to Afghanistan. Seeing what has transpired there over the last two weeks breaks my heart - not that it was or ever could be mended after my brother was killed in Afghanistan August 6, 2011. In addition to my brother's teammates who died that day, seven Afghan allies lost their lives as well. I have often thought of their sisters and brothers, their moms and dads, friends, children and spouses. Our grief unites us though we have never met.
