Greater LOVE hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13
I'm a photographer not a writer so bare with me for a bit...
Any lose is devastating when it's the one you love. This past weekend while I was lost in my little world dealing with the Super slow Typhoon Mufia. The United States was dealing with a lose of it's own. A Chinock helicopter crashed in Afghanistan taking the precious lives of 30 U.S Special Operation troops - some of them being Navy Seal, Air Force, Army and Afghan soldiers.
