My friends, Lt. Mark Daily was a Soldier who was ROTC Soldier of the year '05. He was killed on monday by an IED. In his last email to his family he wrote:
All is well," he wrote. "More war stories than I can fit in this e-mail. Having the time of my life!"
From his myspace page on why he joined:
"If you think the only way a person could bring themselves to volunteer for this war is through sheer desperation or blind obedience, then consider me the exception," he wrote.
"Don't forget that human beings have a responsibility to one another and that Americans will always have a responsibility to the oppressed," he added. "Don't overlook the obvious reasons to disagree with the war, but don't cheapen the moral aspects either."
He said his heroes were immigrants who risk their lives to achieve better ones.
He wrote that those who still don't get why he volunteered to go to Iraq should at least wish him good luck.
Thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, and his whole family and friends. May he rest in peace.
