Nice. God bless him and family.
So very sorry for your friend. Heartbreaking that so many are suffering, and dying from, after effects of our wars. This enemy doesn’t subscribe to the Geneva Convention protocols. Americans should remember that.
we didn’t go into Iraq during the first gulf war...
My condolences to his family. may God bless them and be with them in this hour of their sorrow.
God bless Bob and his family. It’s incredibly tough losing a child.
Sad story - I had a graduate school classmate in the early 2000s who was caught in the downwind drift from blowing up Saddam’s munitions after GW-I, some of which was chemical. He was in a tussle with the VA to get the symptoms treated then.
The reported “muffled explosion” from the SCUD is taught as an indicator of a chemical munitions deployment. It’s unfortunate the unit didn’t react accordingly with masks and MOPP gear.
I just had a high school classmate(wonderful guy) who served die of cancer that started in the brain and then spread throughout his body.
There is something to be said about honor.
Something humbling, with a grit of determination and respect.
Respect for those that stood tall in the face of adversity and never compromised their principles of Duty, Honor and Country.
God bless these Men.
