zagnut Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Hey all, I'm finally home on a 4 day pass. The training roations at NTC are going smoother, and we just shipped some guys from the 11 ACR to Iraq last week. I still don't know if I'm going yet, but I feel pretty close to the war in a way. The last 2 weeks, I was on funeral detail. It was really an honor to fold the flag over a soldier's grave- giving him an honorable sendoff. Yet, the hardest thing was giving a Bronze Star and Purple Heart to the wife of a 22 year old that was KIA the week before in Mosul. You can't help but feel a little choked, but you have to keep it in your guts. Hard to explain.. Anyways, hope all's well for everybody, and hope all had a Hap Hap Happy Turkey day. I sure did! ...Hmmm, now if I can only find that beer my girlfriend stashed somewhere... Quote
PG_Raptor Posted November 28, 2004 Posted November 28, 2004 Hope you enjoy your leave. Don't know how often you guys get told this, but thanks for all you guys do. It must be horrible to have to talk to the family of a dead soldier. We appriciate it! Make sure everyone there knows Biohaz supports them ;) Quote
