You said it better than I ever could have! Hugs and kisses from the wife of a disabled vet tired of being mislabeled as the enemy. Thank you for your service!
You above all are the one I thank and with immense gratitude say “you are welcome”.
My wife is home with our three kids, all under 4, and living off base as our facility has no housing due to BRAC.
My best to your husband/my brother in arms. Some of us will never forget that our wounded brothers ARE always are brothers. Those who do forget remember it when one rocket/mortar/IED strike adds them to that rank. My job now is to help make sure our wounded/KIA numbers stay low and are kept low, while the enemy’s remain at maximum. My life as a tanker is pretty much over (no US tanks in Afghanistan), but my assignment still brings me a lot of satisfaction in reducing US casualties.
