Our son returned from Afghanistan in June, 2011. Thankfully, he was whole, physically, but suffered a severe concussion when an IED took the 25 year old Platoon Leader’s legs and shattered his right arm. Our son was thrown back and hit his head. Our wonderful son had the presence of mind to be first to rush to his wounded friend and began First Aid. This was three weeks from coming home. When he first came home he was very emotionally damaged from PTSD. At Christmas when he came home he was better. The news last night is the Platoon leader is walking with prosthetic legs and Thank God his arm healed. Please keep prayers coming. This kind of change in policy is why we have to be resolute and make sure that Obama retires to private life on January 20, 3013!!!

May GOD bless and watch over all of these boys.
Many prayers, Fran, and *thank you*
I guess that makes the Sniper MOS obsolete, since a sniper who has allowed his position to be compromised has failed in his mission. ergo,...if a sniper receives combat pay he could be charged with dereliction of duty.
I’m awaiting Obama’s orders to not be fired upon, so all military servicemen taken under fire in combat may now be charged with Art 92 UCMJ.
Prayers up for your son and his unit leader!!
