Thanks Chgogal for pinging me, so I went and followed the links and read the whole article and was humbled. Then I remember that I saved a brief French video of a unit in Aghanistan serving with an American unit. They too were very complimentary and developed a close camaraderie and also remarked how quick the US troops were to come to their aid if needed.

Then I recalled that there was a French unit that lost I believe 18 soldiers recently, a terrible loss. They fought like tigers too and God bless them all. We must honor our allies who stand by us.

It seems that our French Ally lost nine Soldiers from their 8th PIR on August 19th. Prayers for all our Coalition Troopers and their families. You can find the information below. (We lost two of our finest today. My deepest condolences to the families and Godspeed to the ones we lost. We buried Jonnie Stiles today in Colorado. Prayers are sent his and his family's way.)
