Was on the road today.....pulled into a Pizza shop for lunch......Thirteen Chairs leaned up against the Bar....thirteen Pints pulled and sitting in Glasses.....in honor of those killed in the Bombing in Kabul yesterday.

Most of them were from the Marine Corps units assigned to Units based in the vicinity of the Town.

Other Restaurants were doing the same in honor of those lost.

Somehow....it just felt right seeing such a nice gesture in a place that knows the risks some of its customers take in their work.

The Beirut Barracks Memorial is not far away.

I noticed I was not the only one that bought Pizza and Beer for Marines today.

That also felt right.

I suppose those Thirteen are on a flight back to the USA today....for a sad welcome by their families.
