Gary Gordon.
Randy Shughart.
A former fetus, the “wordsmith from nantucket” was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1968. Adopted at birth, wordsmith grew up a military brat. He achieved his B.A. in English from the University of California, Los Angeles (graduating in the top 97% of his class), where he also competed rings for the UCLA mens gymnastics team. The events of 9/11 woke him from his political slumber and malaise. Currently a personal trainer and gymnastics coach.
The wordsmith has never been to Nantucket.
I know full well who they are. Medal of Honor winners.
And another name.
Michael Durant
Yes, 1993

God Bless them.
True warriors and heros.
Honored, and remember always.
Pat Tillman is a name that I think is in the mainstream consciousness thanks to sufficient media coverage and attention. But Gordon and Shughart not being household names…deplorable.
