So many service people are being killed that it is touching communities all across the USA.
Today, my hometown received notice that one of the men killed in the two-helicopter crash is from my hometown. His name was Jeremiah DiGiovanni. He was 21 years old and an only child.

2. That only pertained to the draft... |
|
This kid was in the 101st Airborne Division.
He volunteered. Had always wanted to fly helicopters.
The next draft will have NO EXEMPTIONS for only children.
