Talked to an old friend today I havenot seen in a while. When we start asking about each others family, he let's me know that his son 20 years old got hurt real bad over there. A grenade took part of an arm and a leg. Wow I saw this kid grow up. Joseph my thoughts go out to you and your family.
That sucks. Hope he is doing OK. You are right, we take those guys for granted too often. It takes a special person to risk his life for his county like these guys do (chicks too). They sure are not doing it for the money.

I am in the Army Guard Full time and I have two guys in my office over there right now. They say the sand fleas are hell and there is malaria and the heat is pretty ravaging. My Medevac Blackhawk unit that I drill with on my weekend warrior side is also over there in Afghanistan (yes we still have guys there too) they have been there since November.
I have been over there for the first one so when I am running around here in my fatigues and it is only 100 degrees I think about all of the guys over there and suddenly it ain't so bad. wink
My little bro is fresh out of boot camp and will be heading over to Iraq in the next couple of weeks. Everyday you hear about some poor guy getting ambushed and it scares the shit out of me. First time that I can't be there to help or protect the guy since the day he was born.

Our prayers are with him. There are over 250 dead American soldiers now. Prayers didn't help them.
I hope that all the guys stay safe. Good luck to your little brother. I know how it is. Tell him to be strong.
24Rod hope your frinds family is doing ok. My prayers go out.

If it wasn't for guys like these hanging their asses out to get shot at you wouldn't be able to spout off your liberal views in this forum without big brother coming into your house in the middle of the night to take you away.
Think about that and then take a personal shot at me in typical liberal fashion.
