EVERY DAY ANOTHER

I found this reading David Foster Wallace's obit and it hit my gut.

The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Enduring Freedom.

Pvt. Michael R. Dinterman, 18, of Littlestown, Pa., died Sept. 6 at Outpost Restrepo, Kunar Province, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when he received enemy fire while on dismounted patrol. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, Fort Hood, Texas.

Rest in peace, Pvt. Dinterman. Eighteen. Your life is worth more than this.
