Meteor Blades ran out of room to list names. This starts where he left off, after April 2004.
I type because my friend Ralph was drafted as he left high school and sent to Vietnam. Ralph's father had died of a heart attack, so his mother didn't have enough money to send him to college for a deferment. Ralph was killed on his first day in Vietnam, as were over 900 other young men.
