You do not know how much your responses mean to me. I have been glued to the computer for going on eight months at Marine Parents sites, scanning all mil sites, DOD/CENTCOM, Globalsecurity.......newpapers that had embedded reporters etc., to keep track of all that has gone on in Iraq.
My nephew has had to how should we say participate in fire fights when being fired at, was about a 100 feet from being blown up by a rigged car south of their camp, and probably many things he cannot say until he gets back.
For anyone that reads this, Mil folks know the score. Our Marines, Army, Airforce, Navy and all their inter-service units such as Airborne, SEALS, you name it............
Well damn it......they are just the best of Americans as our president made clear last year! And our Air Guard and Coast Guard has to be included in this praise.
Thank you for any prayers lifted up to this brave young warrior........I know he just cannot wait to get back and kiss the ground of soverign US soil. The Army and Marine ground troops continue to display enourmouse courage, commitement and honor as they fight a just cause in Iraq and Afganistan. May the good Lord continue to keep HIS almighty hand over each one of them as they serve with honor and humility seeing all they have seen over the past few years.
Thanks once more for your kind thoughts.
