hey Gumbo, this is your chance to get a grown man bike!!!!
It could be worse, though. I heard from one of my good friends, a 1st Lt serving over in Afghanistan, a few days ago. He lost his right foot just above the ankle in an IED attack. All things considered, he's just glad to be alive. He's already talking about getting his prosthetic so he can hurry up and get back to the unit. Speaking as a Company Commander, that's the kind of attitude I wish all my LT's had. I'd assign him as a Platoon Leader in a heartbeat. I just wish we had more officers serving today with that same warrior spirit. People who are willing to take the fight to the enemy, not sit back and wait for the bad guys to dictate the terms of battle. Don't believe the media or the President for one damn minute when they tell you the war in Iraq is over. But that's a topic for a whole different post. . .
Just wanted to say THANKS for your service for our Country!!!
VERY interested- email and phone call sent/made. Be nice to replace the ole girl I lost in the wreck.
Hang in there, bro. I remember the same sentiments when I was in the Republic of Viet Nam. In spite of all the negative BS from the antis, on up to the Idiot in Chief, the grassroots of America are behind you. We have the deepest respect for your (and your loved ones') sacrifices and stand behind you all the way. My short acquaintance with you left me deeply impressed with your character and commitment to duty, and I fervently hope that you return home unencumbered by the stigmas that so many have endured after fulfilling their duty in an unpopular conflict. Stand tall.......
