Hometown Soldier Killed in Iraq

Re: Orchard Park Soldier Laid To Rest

David Roustum was from my hometown and graduated from the same high school that I did. If we were Korean, not only would we have the hometown-bond but he'd also be my hubae (후배 後輩), often translated as "junior." The relationship might be similar to two people who were members of the same fraternity at different times but who've never met.

More importantly, David Roustum was a Catholic (like 80% of people from the Buffalo area). Thus, he's my brother in the Faith. I'll pray for him and his family.

David Roustum, Requiescat in Pace
