Coming home

[Dave Workman]

‘Colockumelk’ is coming home

When he saddled up to deploy to Afghanistan, former Selah resident Aaron Blanchard, known to his many friends on the Hunting-Washington forum as “Colockumelk,” posted a note on April 11 that noted, “Well it’s my turn once again to head over to the sand box and do the job that the tax payers pay me to do.”

Courageous actions comes of selfless acts by those who care enough to do what others block from view.

Let 'em blow let 'em blow
Let the four winds blow
Let 'em blow from east to west
The US Army is the best

Standing tall and looking good
Should have been in Hollywood

Hold your head and hold it high
Captain Blanchard's marching by

Close your eyes and hang your head
Say a prayer for all the dead

Let 'em blow let 'em blow
Let the four winds blow
Let 'em blow from east to west
The US Army is the best

Thank you Sir, and thank you to your family, whose sacrifice is greater than any of ours.
