MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS HIM AND HIS BROTHERS-IN-ARMS, AND KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM!
SEMPER FI!
Well, he swapped the Arabian Desert for the Mojave Desert.
There's probably no other base in the world as well equipped for desert warfare training.
I thank God for bringing him home safe.
And I thank you for your comments.

Prayers for all our fine young servicemen and women.
The following statement on this website where 76,000 Vets have signed up for Bush:

Hatch Act: Allows Military to have Political Bumper Stickers on personal vehicles.
Well if that humvee or what ever it is, is his personal vehicle he should be fine. I;d like to know where he bought it I could use in rush hour traffic lol
No sarge would demote himself to PFC...
Forgive me on being sceptical.
I am not questioning your patriotism, nor any of your family members.
I am questioning, why are you implying that this is your son?
Reading into your posting, I get a feeling you aren't related.
You are wrong on 3 of 4 of your counts.
Figure which ones...
Because I gave him the sticker & gave the lady who posted the picture the recent photo. She asked me permission to use it.
How am I wrong??????? Sounds like a Kerry fan that tells you what you should know & how to be correct in their eyes
We've had 'forum trolls' sign up and claim to be related to people mentioned in articles, or claim to know people in articles.
The rank on the flak jacket is similar to the Army PV2/E2 'private' rank.
Do try to understand why there is some skepticism here.
Thanks for responding.
My son told me they issues "additions" to their body armour. Not sure what that means except hopefully more protection. He has never explained the insignia, but he is a squad leader
Thanks
welcome.
Additions likely means ceramic armor plates that go into the pouches internal to the vests.
Also there's work being done on kevlar arm covers and leg protection.
But that's still a bit away from practical combat use.
(The kevlar fabric tends to be bulky and stiff inhibiting movement to the point of being impractical in field use at the moment.)
