I doubt that Gunny Burghardt would mind.

Dear Cindy, LOL, Perfect!


As for Burghardt, he said he wanted to send a message to the insurgents who failed to kill him. God Bless you Burghardt. Prayers for your full recovery from injuries

And he's not looking to leave Ramadi for five more months.

"I don't want a ticket out," he said. "I want to stay here so we can take as many people home as possible."

I guess that one-finger salute applies to John Kerry, too!

I am humbled, blessed, and greatful to live in a country served and defended by men like Gunny Burghardt.

As a mother with young children...I'm trying to find some reason to say this photo is inappropriate...but it's not coming to me. I'm just too dang proud of him and this type of communication is perfect for this situation. ON the contrary....it's most appropriate.
