Bill
Donnelly must have had roots because his name is Bill Donnelly IV. “Bill Donnelly the Fourth”.
I
had a great Thanksgiving. We traveled to
Ohio and shared the day with three generations of our family from six states.
I
don’t know much about Bill’s family but I know they didn’t enjoy their
Thanksgiving as my as I did mine.
Bill
was a First Lieutenant on his first deployment.
He was killed during a foot patrol on Thanksgiving Day.
Bill
was part of the 3rd Battalion of the 5th Marine Regiment
which has suffered 15 other KIAs in the last two months.
There
is nothing wrong with enjoying Thanksgiving.
But we all should give thanks for those
who make our easy, secure lives possible.
