My thanks to all of you as well. Around the world Americans get alot of bad press unfortunatly. I think the world would be a sad place if folks like you weren't out there putting your lives on the line for us all. We are in your debt....

I wish I could have stayed longer.. But there are other plans for me.. I had some good times and really learned who I was..
I know I'll never walk through a door to a dark room.. One of my war wounds stuck in my head.. I was infantry and we were raiding a home, I had point and when I entered I saw a black blur go across my Night Vision Goggles... I had a split second and I turned around and shoved my guys out the door.. It was a grenade.. Thats the last thing for me to overcome out of everything.. It's rough, it pains me to see soldiers come back and suffer as I once went down that road too.. Amazing how much your body can withstand until your home and then it pours like the river..

Storm!!!
I haven't been in this forum for a while. Too long I guess.
From one veteran to another, I hope those memories turn to love instead of grief. I pray that you hold your own, maintain and don't pass the agony on to others in a bad way. I pray that your pain fades with time, but you never forget. Your secrets are yours alone, choose wisely when it is time to share. I hope that the faith you have in your brothers never fades. Never forget those that were there with you, before you, or walk in your foot steps.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. The rest of us are proud to pay our taxes so you get some sort of reward for that.
Take care my friend.
