We had to send two of our soldiers home to their families due to an accident yesterday. These brave men died serving their country for a cause. Some may not agree with why we are here, some may even think the 2000 plus service members who have contributed the ultimate sacrafice died in vain. To die in vain is to have died without a purpose, that purpose is solidified every single day Iraqi citizens can live in a country where they have a voice, every day a new Iraqi soldier is trained, everyday an Iraqi was granted a fair trial instead of being murdered. The morning held a thick fog with visibility around 20 feet, and sadly an Iraqi who also was lost was driving on the wrong side of the road. The surviving soldier was driving and she feels she is to blame, as her battle buddies we are here for her and helping her through this time when we are all affected by the loss. I ask you the person who's safety we are all over here for to take a moment of silence for our companies and the families loss, and send your strength to the soldier who needs it the most right now.
"With death concentrate on the memories of what was had, not on what was lost. "
"Remember yesterday, live today, think about tommorow."

Hope you and those with you now are doing ok now some time has passed. You're all in the hearts and the prayers of many...in mine every day. Thanks for the card. FYI, there's a package looking for you if you haven't already received it--fun stuff mostly.
Be well and be strong. Mom2
Thanks for the package, "Dumb and Dumber" was just a funny as the first time. I have my camera now and received "Hitch" the movie in my most recent package.
