| 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.
