As an old man, too many of my veteran friends have done this. As a veteran, I can understand their battles. As a parent, and as some of you may recall the parent of a former Coug, this makes me sick. Physically ill. We have all been robbed of his future. Not playing what now looks like a stupid game but his real future. Ask not for whom the bell tolls. We all died a little bit today. Every parent, every brother,sister,grandparent,aunt,uncle,friend and stranger. My prayers are with all who need them.
