Blackfive, one of the most indispensable milblogs on the Internet, turns four today. Matt Burden reflects:

Over the last year, I’ve been threatened many times. Had my address posted across the Internet with a threat to cut my head off in front of my family. Gotten more hatemail and called “Nazi” than you would probably believe. Some of the other authors here have gotten a taste of them, too.

I am also fortunate to be connected to our fighting men and women. The difference you all have made and continue to make resonates in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hear about your efforts daily. Please keep making a difference.

Blackfive has made a huge difference in a time of war. If you don’t already make it a daily read, start now.
