All I can say is at least he's still alive. He was telling me some of the stuff going on over there and had me in tears. Told me he reenlisted for 4 more years. At least he will be in Germany that time. He has a gf and baby on the way over there. I think he will be nearby her there.cyjmhill said:
what branch of the service is he in? I am a former Marine and I have the highest respect for our boys who are over there. I know they are doing the right thing. God Bless your brother. What is his name so I can put in in our prayers.dolphinrescuegirl said:
He is in the army and his name is Steven. My dad was in the navy before I was born and we weren't at war. A lot of my high school friends enlisted in 98 and 99. Havent heard from any of them. At thhat time war was unexpected.cyjmhill said:
I understand. I am sure if you asked them to be/have been serving. Those me and women are the heart and soul of this country. I know it is hard for the family, but you need to know he is doing the right thing and that he and everyone else who is overthere are true Heros!dolphinrescuegirl said:He is in the army and his name is Steven.

I've always believed they are hero's! I have filled out those thank you military cards on the internet where you pick a card and select a pre-made message and sign your name. The war just hasn't ever hit so close to home. He enlisted back in 2005 I think. Anyway he had been in Chicago and Germany and Kuwait. He just got to Iraq about a month ago. The stories he used to tell were funny about spiders the size of basketballs chasing people and hissing and the guys screaming like girls. Not really funny I guess but the way he told them made it funny. Now he sounds on the verge of tears and talking how his friend was shot in front of him and he had to drag his lifeless body out of the no-kill zone and how he's had to kill like 12 people including kids.It just makes my heart break. And right now everyone is at work and I really have no one to talk to until then. I appreciate your talking to me.cyjmhill said:
You are most welcome!!dolphinrescuegirl said:
I'm starting to feel a little better. I usually cope with bad stuff by pushing it out of mind. I'm starting to do that now by surfing the other threads and stuff. So, is there anything you want to talk about? How's your day going?cyjmhill said:
