The mass re-enlistment of 640 GIs of the 3rd Armored Calvary Regiment is considered invaluable to the Army's future.
A year ago, as Iraqi fighters detonated a bomb that shattered his convoy, Army Sgt. Gene Braxton led survivors scrambling out of their Humvees in the hot dusty haze to hunt for the triggermen.
Five months later, a bigger roadside bomb rocked the armored vehicle Braxton was in. Reeling from a concussion, he dragged a wounded buddy to safety.
Back in Colorado, Braxton has re-enlisted and will undergo parachute jump training in preparation for a possible third stint of combat duty in Iraq.

Thanks AM. I know you folks don't like pulling stunts, but it was for some well deserved recognition.

Well, you know where to find us when you need a shoulder. I know, it is scarey (you lived it with your husband so you know the feeling), but it is different with your kids.
I just keep as busy as I can and try not to dwell on certain things. And look forward to the next email or phone call like water in a desert :)
Hugs!
