Andrew Olmsted's long career of blogging allowed his passing to touch the entire world.

As the United States attempts to stand down in Iraq and debates an increase in troops for Afghanistan, we thought it would be worth revisiting the story of US Army Major Andrew Olmsted. He's a soldier with Wisconsin connections and the first US casualty in Iraq last year. We show you how Olmsted's words live on and how his blog entries are having an impact around the world.
