Some positive news for a change
Edited on Sun Oct-05-08 05:51 PM by shadowknows69
My wife's niece's husband just got back from Afghanistan safe and sound thank the Gods. This is the couple who I DJed at their wedding a over a year and a half ago. They'd been together for a long time but tied the knot when he found out he was being deployed. He's a good guy and I'm sure he did the uniform proud. Welcome home Tony!

5. I hope to see him. I missed him at a family get together
Because of my damn health I couldn't go. He did remind my wife that I promised to throw him a party when he made it back. I guess I need to get to work on that. B-)

How's your world my friend?

6. He sent us some pics from afghanistan
I'll have to try to get them online somehow one of these days. I can't believe the gear these guys lug around. Better armored and a little slower I guess though. One thing I have to say for our military is these mother fuckers are in shape.

13. Probably still the ?
Doubt there's much else for active military these days. Don't worry, if he ships out again I'll be soliciting you all for prayers.

14. Thanks for standing up, Tony.
Lots war cheerleaders cheer but don't feel the need to serve. Just ordinary guys like you do. Thanks, man.

15. Shadow, please thank Tony for serving his country. Also, please tell him we're trying to elect a
smart President who will use our troops wisely.

Although, after reading that Limey General's comments I hope Barack has been made aware of them too. (Yes, I know he has been--rhetorical statement)

Thanks for the positive post.
