I have a good friend that just got over there a couple of weeks back for his first deployment with the Navy Special Forces. Reading posts like this scares the crap out of me. My prayers are with you and your friend.

SSgt Gross, as a Marine veteran, although non combat, I offer my prayers to you and to that young man who was so greviously wounded. I pray that one day the American public understand what sacrifices that our servicemen and veterans made so that they can stay free! I am reminded of a sign at Parris Island Recruit Intake that says"Those who are free cannot understand that freedom as much as those who fought for that right." The quote might not be exact, but the sentiment is expressed. SSgt please let us know what you might need, and I am sure that those needs will be fulfilled. Paul, LCpl USMC
What was the question?
I have never served, but have been around the military one way or another my entire life. And I have been blessed never to have to watch the honor guard escort anyone I've ever known, but I always made it a point to stand by my ex the Funeral Route (forgive my ignorance, I never learned the proper term for the route from the military airport to the funeral home) to pay my respects to soldiers that gave their lives in war & piece. I would still do so if I was able to, even taking time off work or posponing anything scheduled to salute these service members that servered our country with honor. I'm sorry for your loss, and our loss as Americans. It has becomes an unfortunate common occurance to hear that someone has lost their life serving America that people don't take time to stop and think about that person or his family. I hope more people can put aside their political views and support our soldiers.
Sorry for the long post, I just want to say thank you. And I hope you nothing but the best for you and your family Sapper. You and your fellow soldiers will always be heros...
All right enough being mushy.. Have a cigar.
