We thank you for your warmth and prayers. I read the web site with all the wonderful people that have thought of us. We are truly blessed.
Nick had surgery a week ago to remove shrapnel from the bottom of his surviving eye, that was narrowly missed. I read him all the comments on this site before he went to sleep, he went to sleep a very happy man with a smile on his face.
You will often hear him say he feels like George Bailey from the movie, It's a Wonderful Life. Reading all of this reminds us of the part where you can hear all the towns prayers from the heavens in the very beginning of the movie.
He is thankful for life and will travel down the path that God has chosen for him, without questioning it. I am truly a very lucky lady to have such a wonderful man as my husband and our son could not have a better man to be his father.
In the first hours of uncertainty, I prayed that he would remain here on earth to finish his mission in life..to inspire and give strength to others. He has started that mission almost immediately back in Iraq when he was still laying on the gurney and yelled out a Ooh Rah. His mission has just begun.
I am typing this thank you for him, his eyesight in his good eye is still a little blurred.He was very honored that you all have said such wonderful things about him. He tells me that the people like you are what drives him to proudly serve this wonderful country of ours, you make sacrafice worth it.
Thank you all so very much, from the Cee-gar Man and family
