Everytime I hear of a soldier getting hurt or killed in AF or IZ, I have to e-mail my buddies to make sure they're OK.
ReplyDeleteNow I understand what my friends and family went through when I was in IZ.
Yes, I am feeling that right now. Relief that I know it was not the Wolf, I was just starting a conversation with him when communications got locked down; worry for friends; and guilt over feeling relieved. They are all "ours".
ReplyDelete:-( I hadn't realized there were Americans lost, too.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out Sgt Taylor was from my hometown, a friend of my brother's and although I never met him, he was a neighbor of ours years ago.
This attack left me more hurt and angry than most of them have... probably because I know so many who have spouses and close friends over there now... and because it makes me sick that they planned it to hit so hard.
