The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Sad Day thoughts and prayers needed
I got the word earlier that a brother in arms was killed on Christmas Eve. No words can express right now. When I was in Iraq and he was the gunner in the truck in front of me I always felt a relief. He was good at what he did and one of his jobs was to keep me safe when I was there doing what I did. He was killed by a rocket attack on the compound he was at in Afganistan. I am a member of the Patriot Guard but can't ride right now and I will be blowing smoke for him. If you want to join let me know and I will give you details
Cpl. Charles P. Gaffney Jr., 42, of Phoenix, Ariz., died Dec. 24 in Paktika, Afghanistan, when his combat outpost received enemy rocket fire. He was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky.

Chuck, I think I know how you feel. I've been there too, at an earlier time, and it never seems to change. Please know my thoughts are with you brother, and, with our fallen comrade in arms. There's nothing any of us can do to make up for his loss.

Jack everything seemed to be going ok untill this. when I got tasked out as recovery on missions I was ok but when I found out he was the person in front of me it was a relief on my shoulders. I didn't have to worry about who had my back. Sad to say but even with some of the pansy waste that they let in now. I know I can handle my own but with all and everthying that went on I am glad to say I had someone that had my back that I didnt have to worry about weather they WOULD make the shot. He would and then ask was it center enough for me. I am looking at going back to duty after 14 months sitting sidline and am ready ok ok half assed ready but yeah I am ready. Trust me in military terms a profile is just a suggestion. And when I say this its not bull****ting. I would rather have 3 guys like him on my team that 8 that wasnt like hime. I know its hard for some people to understand but he was THE GUY that you would want with you when **** got deep. My wife and my families prayers goes out to his twins to know that their father was a HERO.
