The Rest in Peace Thread

Recommended Posts

I just got the news via other members of the LZ.com family ... I'm saddened beyond belief...from that moment we started taking about Pilates last year we had great exchanges via PM....we were kindered spirits of sorts and even spoke about a day in the future when she would visit me in Italy or me coming to NOLA if RP played there...I sent her a PM not too long ago but I figured she might have been busy but her silence during the re-releases was strange, as she was looking forward to them. It's amazing how you can feel you've made a friend even though you've not met in the flesh.

So long, dear friend Brett...may you create three hours of lunacy every night behind St. Peter's gates. You will be missed and thank you for having been in my life, albeit briefly, albeit online, and thank you LZ community for allowing me to have "met" you.

I know, I was really disappointed that our CIC didn't even mention it.

Actually, President Obama did address Major General Greene's death though not fast enough for some people.

This really hits hard for me, for as a Southern California skate-surf-rat, Jay Adams was a true icon of my youth. One of the original Dogtown Zephyr Skate team, I had Jay Adams photos up on my wall next to my Led Zeppelin and Gerry Lopez and Steve McQueen ones.

Only a year older than me. Damn. :depressed:

Rest in peace Jay.

U.S. Army Major General Harold Greene killed today in Afghanistan.

This is just terrible. It's rare for such a high ranking military officer to be killed in a war zone. This maybe the first time it's happened since World War II.

Yuppers. **2 Star General

Laid to rest Thursday in Arlington National Cemetery. Beautiful service. But give the Commander In Chief a break will ya, CBR? He was under a lot of pressure Thursday and couldn't attend.

I think he was +1 over Par at the time.

Neither the President, Vice President, nor Secretary of Defense attended the service..

Yep, no WH representation at General Greene's funeral but 3 WH officials will go to Michael Brown's funeral.

Anything to politicize an already volatile issue..
