I am going to give Thomas Reagan his real life back. This is what it means. At some point, I will make a choice that will allow Thomas Reagan to live again as the person his family and friends know him as and Kerry Burgess will find a final resting place.

Was it the last time while walking to the grocery store that I saw that crow on the top of that


gas station sign? I think so. That day before yesterday, I think. I think about again now because I just tuned in to this broadcast just a few minutes before Stephen King drives past a crow standing on a car on the side of the highway.

I noticed the crow as it was walking along the top edge of the sign and it stopped at the side that was closest to me. As I made my closest point of approach to the


gas station sign with the crow standing on the top of the sign the crow looked down at me and I looked briefly up at it as I walked along the sidewalk.

USS Milius


Name Sake

USS MILIUS (DDG 69) is named in honor of NAVY pilot Captain Paul L. Milius (1928-1968). On February 27, 1968 Captain (then Commander) Milius was piloting an OP-2E observation aircraft on an armed reconnaissance mission over Laos.

While conducting his mission, the aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire. Commander Milius elected to remain at the controls of his badly damaged aircraft, maintaining stable flight, and ordered his seven crew members to bail out, all of whom were rescued. Just before the aircraft crashed, Commander Milius is believed to have bailed out, but rescuers were unable to locate him. Captain Milius was declared Missing In Action (MIA). On April 26, 1978, his status was revised to Presumed Killed In Action (PKIA). He was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
