"We must be ready to dare all for our country. For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. We must acquire proficiency in defense and display stamina in purpose." - President Eisenhower, First Inaugural Address
Hell of a way to start my day, I really enjoyed his posts and he struck me as a great guy.
The picture they released makes it look like he bellied in just short of the runway (http://www.lahontanvalleynews.com/article/20120306/NEWS/120309948), might have made it, if that building hadn't been there. It doesn't look like he was going very fast when he hit the structure.
I met Lex at a milblogger conference. This one really hurts, and I can't get my head wrapped around it. Fair winds and following seas, Cap'n. My deepest sympathies to your family. Rich Lowe Soldiers Angels
