==============================
When a mans heart is full of deceit it burns up, dies and a dark shadow falls over his soul. From the ashes of a once great man has risen a curse, a wrong that must be righted. We look to the skies for a vindicator, someone to strike fear into the black hearts of the same men who created him. The battle between good and evil has begun. Against an army of shadows comes the Dark Warrior, the purveyor of good, with a voice of silence and a mission of justice. - Steve "Sting" Borden |

I am saddened by the loss of two young brave men from Minnesota. Everytime I hear of a fellow Minnesotan coming home for their final time it always hits me just that much more. This is someone that I could have gone to school with or worked with and it truely hits home at that point. I am keeping the family in my prayers.
God keep you now Spc. Rystad, and thank you. |
