Grant ADN Headline Story Today's Daily News Headline: Alaskan among 14 killed in Iraq Even thought the headline was bleak, the article itself was wonderful. Family members recalled Grant and one really got a taste of his wonderful personality. I loved this excerpt: Fraser was described Thursday by friends and family as a talented, loyal, animated and adventure-loving young man who always seemed to be in a good mood, ready to crack a joke. "He was athletic and agile and really serious and dedicated to the Marine Corps," said his mother, Sharon Long. "But when they were crawling in the mud and doing that kind of training, he would chuckle. And his officers would say, 'You find this funny, Fraser?' And he would say, 'Yes, sir.' He would tell me, 'Mom, there's something absurd about having all these grown men crawl in the mud.' He brought a lighter side." 9:27:11 PM    comment []
