Follow Friday is a weekly Blog Hop that can be found over at parajunkee.com. - who has one of the most funky blog designs I ever did see (just thought I'd add that :))
Q: In light of 11.11.11 and Veteran’s Day tell us about your favorite soldier and how he or she is saving the world. Fictional or real life.
Hmm...I don't know any real life soldiers. The only soldier I ever 'knew' was my biological father who went AWOL from my life when I was a baby so yeah I don't really have a high opinion of him.
Hmm...in fiction... Sorry but I don't read war/battle/whatever fiction.
Wait. Colonel Brandon from Sense and Sensibility. Now HE was an officer and a gentlemen if ever there was one :)
Oh, good pic for a fictional soldier! :)

*nods* Colonel Brandon! he is awesome!! nice pick.
ReplyDeleteSome people have friends and/or family who served or who is serving in the military. Other people aren’t really keen on the long-standing war and really have no answer at all.
ReplyDeleteAs for me? I don’t know anyone who is serving or who has served so I decided to go with what I want and chose a fictional soldier as an answer. The thing is, I had four prime candidates! I did eventually end up with one with a lengthy explanation. Care to know who it is? Follow me back to http://www.howardsherman.net and find out!
