Looked like him carrying the mortar towards the end of the clip. Be good to have him home again. Make sure you tell him I for one wish him well in his future endeavors!

Pretty awesome Rick but I know that has to be a little hard for you to watch.  We are all so proud of him.

Our prayers are with you and your son and his outfit to make it home safe Rick. Even though I am from Canada we do appreciate what he is doing.

We can't get them home soon enough.

The National Guard is stepping in and taking over everything on the Memorial I told you about. They will be burying him in Ft. Louis on July 28th and the Memorial here will be Aug 4th.

Rick,
It will be good to have him home again. I believe that he has been enlisted for a while, is he going back?
How is the rest of your military sons and daughters doing?
Praying for a safe return.

Brad

He has 8 more months when he gets back and from the way he talks he is done. He has his degree in criminal justice and wants to be a DEA or Fed Marshall.

The other son is Delta force now and his wife who was SF got out and is working for some military contractor. Our oldest daughter is still in and got transferred to Tulsa for? with the Army.

Yeah it will be good to have him back, just in time for Octfest at the schnitzel shack  :o

Thanks everyone
