HOLIDAY POST 2009

“NINE WRITERS WRITING”
DAY 9

TODAY, ON THE RED RIVER WRITERS BLOG RADIO SHOW, SEVEN WRITERS READ FROM THEIR WORKS. ONE READ A FRIEND’S POEM. ANOTHER DIDN’T READ AT ALL, BUT LISTENED INTENTLY TO EVERY WORD. EACH OF THESE WRITERS IS EITHER A MILSPEAK WRITER OR A CONTRIBUTOR TO MILSPEAK MEMO. THE TITLE “MILSPEAK WRITER” IS EARNED BY THOSE WHO PARTICIPATE IN MILSPEAK CREATIVE WRITING SEMINARS.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET
Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, called 'The Old Guard,' conduct military honors for Sergeant Daniel Frazier during his burial ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery December 22, 2009 in Arlington, Virginia. A member of the 782d Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Frazier was killed November 19, 2009 in Zabul province, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when a suicide car-bomber attacked his unit.
