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
