Chances are that if you read this blog, you also check out Josh Drobnyk's Pennsylvania Avenue, an insider's guide to Washington politics. Thanks to Josh, we know that a memorial fund has been established for former Express Times reporter Bill Cahir. Every penny donated will go to his family, which includes a pregnant wife expecting twins. Times are tough, but if you can scrape a few dollars together to help Cahir's widow, you'll know it goes to a good cause.
A Marine reservist, Cahir was recently killed during combat operations in Afghanistan. Drobnyk reports that Cahir will be posthumously awarded the Purple Cross.
Although rivals of a sort, covering the same beat for different newspapers, Drobnyk's reports about Cahir are a testament to him and his profession.

That's a nice gesture. I'm also glad that Michelle Obama has made military families her "thing." I thought of this guy today when I read that a new poll shows that the majority of Americans feel the Afghan War is/was a wasted effort.
