Good morning everyone. As always, thank you for your incredible support of all of us over here. Prayers this morning for 547th Maintence Co, D.C. Nat'l Guard. Two of their guys were hurt on Sunday by an I.E.D. (improvised explosive device) that wrecked their 5-ton truck. (The blast blew it completely on it's side) Also hurt was a soldier from 1st AD. I was in a 3 vehicle convoy that cam up on their truck just after it had been hit and was still taking small arms fire. We deployed and secured the truck and treated the wounded and got them back to our base so they could be flown to a hospital. One guy I talked to said it was the second blast he'd survived in 19 days!
Radu - Thank you for that card. It was an extremely pleasant surprise.
I'm saying extra prayers for those in the 547th Maintenence Co and 1st AD who were injured. It's good that y'all came up on them in time to be of so much help and get them out of there to safety.

That just makes my hair stand on end! I know things are progressing in Iraq, slowly but surely, but it's still far from safe. I keep all our men and women over there in my prayers daily for their safety and well-being.
Keep up the good work. I always look forward to your new radio reports. It's great to hear your voice. And you're more than welcome for the card, my friend. Since you've gotten it, you know there's more on the way. :-) Keep your eyes peeled for those boxes!
Thank you soooo much for the ping, Kathy!!
