National Public Radio has a nice four-minute remembrance of Maj. Megan McClung, here. Her parents make an appearance, and tell some amazing stories of Maj. McClung’s athletic prowess. Here is a quote from her mom:

When the Lord gives you these blessed little creatures, you don’t know how long you get to keep them. You don’t know how long they’re yours. And we had her for 34 years, and we were immensely proud of her.

I am in discussions with her father about doing a more extensive online tribute, which will probably appear here later on this month.

Best wishes to all my readers for a happy 2007.
