Three and one in front

It's been a bad month for my small town. It's been a bad month for friends.

We have a friend, a young man who has already been to Iraq twice, is a good cop, married to a sweet girl, they have a beautiful son, and he's lost three friends this month. They buried a young man today who was walking in front of this man's brother-in-law when he stepped on a mine and was killed.

They're burying young boys and men all over this state and eventually it's not going to be a friend's friend, it'll be one of mine.
