3 soldiers killed in Jordan identified
We talked the other day about the three US Special Forces soldiers killed in Jordan last week. Their names have been released; Staff Sgt. Matthew Lewellen, Staff Sgt. Kevin McEnroe and Staff Sgt. James Moriarty. Their biographies are posted at The Army Times. They were all based at Fort Campbell, Kentucky and part of the 2,000-person force in Jordan that is training the Jordanian Army to fight ISIS.
The incident is still under investigation and a Jordanian officer was also wounded.

Rest in peace brothers. God be with your families now.
Fair winds and following seas, Sergeants.
RIP, and prayers up to you and your families.
Rest well, men.
Fiddler’s Green
Halfway down the trail to Hell,
In a shady meadow green
Are the Souls of all dead troopers camped,
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddlers’ Green.
Marching past, straight through to Hell
The Infantry are seen.
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marines,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green.
Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene.
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he’s emptied his canteen.
And so rides back to drink again
With friends at Fiddlers’ Green.
And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers’ Green.

Have a drink on me. The world is a lesser place with your absences! 🙁
