I hate reading/watching local news, knowing they missed half the story in the rush to find a local human interest aspect to a soldier's death. I want my friend to get the sympathy for her loss, not a bunch of local people who wrote off their "son" or "brother" five years or more ago. And I want she and her husband to get the recognition for their sacrifices and commitment to rescuing a youth who would have never achieved what he did, if not for them. A different channel got it better, interviewing his instructor at the Job Corps where he learned carpentry while studying for his GED.
Mainly I am frustrated, and venting my emotions on things.
Chaperoned a field trip to the zoo today. Impressed my team teacher, knowing all about things and how to get around. Being a docent for five years will do that. The kids were exemplary, and I told them so. Even back in school, with 30 in a classroom eating pizza, they were quiet, organized and well behaved.
Oh, and it was also report card day. Stuffing envelopes (because that is what teachers do) with the cards, and about six other sheets of information that won't make it home.

I have found that it is best not to watch any media in these situations. It only succeeds in making me angry.
I saw in the Post that he was a soldier in the 4th ID - one of DH's former assignments. Ironhorse!
