Memorial Day weekend. A bit off thread. Remember all who died in active duty, celebrities or not.
My uncle 1942 off the coast of Virginia. Sunk by a German u boat.

That's ok, I consider soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines as the unsung celebrities amongst us. Meet my wife's great uncle, Robert L. Wilson. He fought from Guadalcanal to Tinian, and he made the ultimate sacrifice.

Michael Hastings, Award-Winning Journalist, Dies at 33

“Michael Hastings was really only interested in writing stories someone didn’t want him to write — often his subjects; occasionally his editor. While there is no template for a great reporter, he was one for reasons that were intrinsic to who he was: ambitious, skeptical of power and conventional wisdom, and incredibly brave.”

In 2010, Mr. Hastings won a George Polk Award, presented annually by Long Island University for reporting in the public interest.

The award honored his Rolling Stone magazine cover story, “The Runaway General,” published that June. In it, Mr. Hastings profiled Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, then the top commander of United States forces in Afghanistan.

The article quoted the general and members of his staff making disparaging comments about members of the Obama administration, including Vice President Joseph R. Biden, with respect to their handling of the Afghan campaign.

Within days of its publication, President Obama met briefly with General McChrystal in the Oval Office before firing him, ending his 34-year military career.
