Things are pretty on edge here 2 guys from my unit got killed, didnt really know them that good but it still hurts us all. I talked to Jay in Afgah, he is doing good and wanted me to tell you and mom that he is ok and sorry he dont call or email much.

So what I want to tell you if I dont come home you can put me wherever you would like.

Thank you for sharing this with us. All I can say is... May the Lord of Life look over your son and all of our young folks....
Thanks for sharing the letter with us. God Bless our military. They are very brave and special people, fighting to preserve this great country and our way of life. We should never take freedom for granted, a very high price has been paid for it. Thanks :)
My prayers are with your boys may the lord see them safley home.

ThanX for sharing that email, Nepas.....your son is VERY smart to take good care of his mortar crew. Prayers are with him and your "ghost" son!
My prayers go out to your sons, and all troops serving in war zones.
My prayers and thoughts are with your son and all the other military personnel.

Nepas,
Your son sounds like a great boy, sorry, great man. God bless both your sons and the rest of our troops over there. Thank them for the great job their doing. We wouldn't be able to write these postings if not for our brave troops. God bless.

Praying for your family Nepas as well as all troops of all countries that are fighting down the terrorist. Thank God for the e-mail abilities of today. Back in Viet Nam it took much, much longer for word to get back home. His e-mail had a little sting, but you know he is still alright.
Nepas,
My family will be praying for the safe return of your sons and all of our brave soldiers. This country cannot thank them enough for the sacrifices they make. Thank you for sharing his letter with us.
Thanks for sharing the letters. Hoping they both stay safe, along with the rest of our soldiers.
Hang in there Nepa. Your boys are sure in our prayers all the time along with the other troops. God speed on a safe return.
Pat and Ann
thanks NePa. You got soem tough kids there, best hope you see them again soon.
Wish I knew how to make Jerky, I'd send you some to add. I can send you some Pulled pork and Sop.n. Sauce. Don't know how well it would travel and how they would prep it. Let me know what I can contribute...
Thanks everyone for you well wishes and kind thoughts. We The People are fortunate to have brave men and women that take the calling to protect our freedom from enemies that want to do harm to our great USA.
From me and my wife we pray that all our sons, daughters, wifes, husbands, boy friends and girl friends come home safe from all theaters of operation.
I love this forum.

Hi nepas
My nephew is RAF and he's out there with your son. We say our prayers for his safe return and will add your son to our list. Our Leaders are as one and we must also be strong and as one to get rid of evil in this world. I sleep safe at night and I pray you your wife and son do also and that he'll return once more safe and well into your arms
