Dying hero worried all the good on-ramps already named
AFGHANISTAN – Army Sgt. First Class Derrik Dillon, watching the world fade away from him after suffering fatal injuries from an IED explosion, spent his last moments on Earth hoping that all the good on-ramps and bridges weren’t already named after fallen heroes.
“A bridge would be nice,” Dillon said to the Chaplain administering last rites. “Of course, I think most of those got renamed by 2008. I just don’t want a shitty freeway filled with potholes like the one this IED was hidden in.”
