    Andy was a man I loved to hear talk...

    I didn't always agree with him...

    But I do know he was a man with an opinion... because HE SAW stuff... different than me... but also in times of war... and that meant he wasn't in control of what he talked about... because I know govt...

    One month... and gone... that ain't right.
