Elkin soldier dies in Afghanistan

A soldier from Elkin, N.C., was killed in Afghanistan yesterday. Capt. Mark Garner graduated from Elkin High a year before I graduated from a high school across the county. He was one of seven soldiers killed in the attack. A few years ago, one of my good friends from high school died after an IED attack in Afghanistan.

And Michael Jackson is still the top story on CNN.com. I swear... I love my country, but there are times when I want to slap several million of its citizens.
