Lost

Last night I arrived home to the usual chaos and mayhem. A single sheet of paper quietly sat on my counter. My eyes skimmed the paper and caught on these words:

U.S. Department of Defense
News Release

The Department of Defense announced today the death of two airmen who were supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Killed were:

Time stopped.
