There are so many achievements in this country that could be had. Developing a vaccine, being a successful businessman, graduating with the highest honors, etc.
Nothing, nothing even comes close to the Medal of Honor. Always brings a tear to my eye.

After what took place in this country on Tuesday, I have to sadly conclude that we, as a nation, are no longer worthy of being served by such men.I agree.

I sent a couple of e-mails to my former coworkers and supervisors in Al Qa'im, Iraq, in order to stimulate interest in retrieving the aforementioned door bearing the tribute to Jason. Awaiting a reply.

Awaiting a reply from Iraq. My fingers are crossed. I am humbled to have walked upon the same ground as Jason.

With luck, someone in Iraq, will soon answer my e-mails and (hopefully) report that the personal tribute to Jason, adorning a barracks door has been secured and is stateside bound.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I walked by said 'tribute' door, and scratched my head wondering who Jason Dunham was, and just exactly what it was that had made him the subject of such reverence . Obviously, he was missed deeply and thought of highly by the marines making their mark upon the subject door (now left behind.) I'm working on getting the door secured (at least trying to) and into the proper guardianship/receivership, if possible. Awaiting a reply to previous e-mails sent to Al Qa'im, Iraq.

I sure hope you are able to get it done. It should be in a museum or a memorial for the soldiers from there!

Agreed. If the marines on the ground get to eyeball the door, they will likely agree with you too. ;0)

Absolutely. Crossing my fingers and hoping someone e-mails me back soon with some good news, like, the door is still in the carpenter shop and... the marines have asked for it to be boxed up for an 8,000 mile trip home.
There is a 4 minute video at NPR with Jason's commander on scene, describing what happened that fateful day. He finds a fragment of Jason's kevlar helmet as he is briefing the camera crew. Chilling.

Just find a way to see to it that they do. That I will leave to people who know how to get those kinds of things done. It would be a wonderful tribute to one of our heroes! A REAL tribute from men who knew him. Gosh!
