Robin Roberts just left a comment noting the passing of one of Colorado’s bloggers. Major Andrew Olmsted was killed yesterday in Iraq and he will be missed by those of us who knew him (in the most casual way, in my case) and respected him for his thoughts and for his service. He was a great man and he deserves to be remembered for his kindness, his intelligence, and his words.

My deepest condolences go out to his family--and if anyone knows of how we can help them through this time, please email me and let me know. He was undeniably one of the good guys and from the words that his fellow soldiers and friends are leaving, I know that their loss is huge. I wish I had a chance to have known him better.

After he left his own site, he was blogging from the Rocky and you can read his last post here and leave your thoughts. I’ll be joining Andy (in a virtual sense) in a drink to his memory.

Others have their own memories. Jed. Robert Hayes. Walter. Blackfive. Jeff G and Karl. Joe Katzman. Jay. Charles (who has a great picture). Rick Moran. Baldilocks.
