Very nice brief piece this morning on "Morning Edition," noting that Bill Cahir--a former Press reporter who was killed earlier this month while serving with the Marines in Afghanistan--will be buried today in Arlington National Cemetery.
His is truly a remarkable story: He joined the armed forces after 9/11, at an age when most people are leaving rather than entering service. He was often a decade older than his drill sergeants in basic training.
I didn't know him personally, but many people whom I respect hold him in very high regard. He also was, by all accounts, a pretty great guy who is survived by his wife, who is pregnant with the couple's first children, twins.
RIP.
