Josh Boyd
About a month and a half ago, I was contacted by a couple of Fayetteville Observer newspaper reporters who were preparing a piece on the "Samarra Seven" for Memorial Day Weekend.
I gathered Kelly and we met with them at 13 Coins. They had just come from Abilene and had visited with Josh's parents. They wanted to know about his life in Seattle and his friends here... more about the kind of man he was and what he meant to this city and his friends.
They released the piece this weekend and I must say that they did an amazing job.
If you are so inclined, please visit HERE for the story of these seven soldiers... it is graphic and difficult to read, I must warn you. But if you want to know what really went down that day, it's all there. Every detail.
I raised a glass in toast to you yesterday, Josh. And to Lance, Nigel, Jens, Muddy.... everyone that I know who was there, is there, or will be there shortly.
I hope you all did, too. These men deserve it. Honor, respect, and remembrance.
