Sadly, my family is one of those families praying for the phone not to ring today. My cousin, Michael is in this unit. He'll be 21 next week, and although I'm extremely proud of him for serving his country, I'm still very scared for him.
I have been lucky enough the last few days to find this site, where there seems to be so many who are kind enough to share thier experiences. I've learned a lot.
I'll be praying for the soldiers and thier families.

Sadly, I am with you on not wanting the phone to ring, I have a son Christopher who is in the SBCT. Like you I am extremely proud of him and scared. I feel bad because even if my phone does not ring, 3 phones will. Freedom is not cheap when you have to lose a love one. Pray for all our soldiers and don't forget people like Mile Gilbert See#47 who risk their life to inform all of us at home.

Good luck to your cousin. This unit has been training together for almost three years. Please know this: Vehicle problems aside, it is one of the best trained in our army. Prayer is important...there is a long road ahead for the Brigade. They will need all our prayers.
warm regards,

i too have a son in the Stryker brigade.. and watch the news and the internet for any information about their mission. My prayers go out to the families of these brave men...

My son is a member of this unit, as well, and called me to tell me that he was not in one of the vehicles that was involved. I am hoping that your cousin was not, either.
