Stryker? you in 1st Brigade? Hey I just came back with 3rd Bde in November...the days drag by, but when you come home and look back, it all seems like it went kinda quick. So there's that to look forward to. Keep your head down and stay busy and come home safe

they say that in war, the people you fight with become your brothers. they say that it's a bond that cannot be broken by anything outside of death, for only the dead will see the end of war. my family got a bit smaller last night.

mortars were landing all around me, within 20meters, i was lucky to not get hit.

P.S. Hemingway was a medic in a war as well.

Look man, there is nothing I can really post to put a "positive
spin" on things.
You are facing dangers I have never had to face, in an
enviroment I will never know.
I've been shot at once, and faced death several other times
as well...but most of that was self-inflicted.
Just don't stop entering in your Journal, otherwise a lot of
people you have never met will begin will become very
concerned.

There is a word in an African language...I will try and spell
it phoneticaly.

Humba-gachle
It means "go with God".
But if you are not religious, that doesn't mean shit.

There is no consolation I can offer you; you know that, I know
that.
All I can do is Wish you Well.

glad you're moving and hope we can talk again soon.

If you send me your address I will write. I love writing letters and receiving a letter in the mail is rare and appreciated. I only get letters from my mom, but it makes my day when I see her hand written envelopes. Take care. ARRR!!!
