I was saddened to learn, this morning of the passing of Bill Faith, by way of Michelle… [1]
He died of a heart attack and had been in ill health.
Bill ran the blog Small Town Veteran [2] and founded/contributed to Old War Dogs [3]. I linked [4] to his work many times over the years. He was also a valuable commenter here at mm.com. A Vietnam veteran, Bill was a stalwart defender of our armed forces and, as you can see from his blog, a man who loved his family. He described himself as “Baby boomer, nerdy kid, Viet Nam veteran, engineer, daddy, grandpa. Politically incorrect. Proud anti-idiotarian.” The epigram at the top of his personal blog:
“For those who have fought for it, freedom has a taste the protected will never know.”
There are so many things I could say at this point, but will not.
Argghhh! [5], BLACKFIVE [6], Confederate Yankee [7] and Old War Dogs [8] all have more, of course.
