Appreciate Life

We had five US Soldiers die in a helicopter crash the other day.  We learned about it on CNN.com right before the reports started rolling into the shop.  No one here wants to talk about it.  When it is mentioned, we all just hang our heads and say, “Sucks, huh?”  I had the honor of talking with one of the construction workers that was told to drop everything and help construct the coffins for these Fallen Warriors.  Even the small task of constructing a coffin carries a heavy emotional weight.  It opens one’s eyes to see how short and precious life really is, and how in the blink of an eye everything can change.
