Sharon Armeni of Tacoma says that the importance of mail, both for the sender and the recipient, can't be overestimated. She is the mother of Lt. Damon Armeni of B Company of the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment.

"We've made tapes of his 15-month-old son (Dalen) so Damon can hear his son's voice, laughter and even his crying," Sharon Armeni said. "We have sent him many pictures of his son and the rest of the family. He's missing a big portion of his son's life and we'd love him to get pictures of him in a timely manner so he can experience as much as possible."

Get well soon, LT

May God watch over this young man and his family, and give them peace and strength. May He use His awesome healing power to make him well, in Jesus' name.

Lt Armeni engaged a lone sniper with a Tow missile. Which gave the OC's a hard on, they said that, that was fantastic, because it was like smashing a fly with a sledge hammer.

Worked for Uday...

Good one, Gunner.

"as our Plt Sgt walked over to it.."
?!

I liked the part about using a TOW on the sniper in training at Fort Lewis.
I got yelled at for a similar stunt in training at Drum.
I suggested that we use two howitzers in Direct Fire on a sniper's position.
The OC's went bizzak on me for it.

May the LT heal up quickly, his guys need him.

Keep up the good work - and stay observant.
Blue is the color of inert training rounds - could they have been trying to see if you would just automatically assume it was inert for future reference? Good thing you were cautious.
