A Warrior Goes Home

Corporal Brett Lundstrom, United States Marine Corps, came from Kyle, South Dakota, a place I’ve driven through more times than I could count, and died fighting in Iraq. It was this picture of his casket riding through that familiar countryside, with its raw, bleak beauty, that got me.

See the rest of the photographs here, at the Rocky Mountain News.

May the wakan tanka protect his soul and comfort his family. Palama-ye-lo and semper fi, Corporal Lundstrom. We won’t forget you, and we won’t abandon your cause.
