An Antidote to Eason Jordan

Joe Galloway with a moving tribute to a soldier he proudly called his friend:

All of America should join me in mourning the death Monday of Sgt. 1st Class David J. Salie. Sgt. Salie was killed on Valentine's Day on a mean street in the Iraqi city of Baqouba, and I'm grieving the loss of my friend along with his wife, Deanna, and their three children.

Read the whole thing. It brought tears to my eyes in a way David Gergen lamenting the loss of an empty-headed skirtchaser like Jordan never could.
