Best Friends, a Promise, Death in Afghanistan

Wow! As bizarre as dude in the lime green dress and pink socks looks, I can’t even smile, in fact there seems to be something in both of my eyes. Years ago, Barry Delaney and his best friend Kevin Elliott had agreed that Delaney would wear a dress – the brighter, the better – if
