Would you like to mail your copy of Roberts Ridge to the new Stryker company at Mosul?
Update:
I've been out of touch as my mother's modem was broken while I was in Texas this past week.
1. The wife of the Command Sergeant Major of our adopted psyops unit in Baghdad sent a thank you note, which I will post next.
2. E-mails from psyops in Baghdad indicate our waves of boxes of contents for their End of Summer Hawaiian party have been arriving in a timely fashion. When I got home yesterday, I got some macadamia nut cookies and mailed them out -- 3 boxes of 20 large freshly baked, commercially sealed cookies that will outdate a couple days after their party. Hope they arrive in time.
3. When I got back, a DHL package was duct taped on the wall of the porch alcove next to the front door. It contained an American flag sent by C company of Stryker who have been at Mosul, a certificate and a letter all explaining this flag was carried combat patrols around Mosul. I will post details in next posts.
Our adopted soldiers of C company are on their way home now, and I ask you all for prayers for their safe journey. They were in the fighting at Fallujah last November, and bore the brunt of the fighting and terror attacks (many IED's and the suicide bombing of the mess hall) at Mosul from last December on.
They kicked in the door to Hell, and have seen first hand the work of Satan. And some have lost limbs and an eye and one in this company of brothers has lost his life. I will be getting more details on our casualties for us to keep tabs on them.
So far, as our soldiers have come home, we have bid them grateful farewell and adopted their follow-on unit for our future attention. And we have already adopted a follow on unit of Stryker that we sent a box of movies to last week (see post 712).
But because this unit bore the some of the worst of the battle, we will try to keep touch with them in the future, and never forget our casualties.
