LdyJay is right on target with this last paragraph. Seems to me it is time to take some action that will really let these people know of the support they have. Sending e-mails and donating to "care" packages being sent says something but I feel the need to do something more.
Since Rod's posting of his son's experiances I have learned of another young warrior that has been saved by body armor. The danger these people are facing needs to be honored and it is we here in the homes they are protecting that need to do it.

Just got word, my cousin Ryan who belongs to 172nd Brigade Combat Team, (Stryker unit) based at Fort Wainwright, will see their return home delayed. They were scheduled to come home in 2 days after their 1 year tour, now looks like they will have their tour extended indefinitely. Their replacements are already in Mosul with them so we are waiting to hear if they will be staying where they are or moving to Baghdad. From his emails he is in the same kind of situations as Nate and has had some really close calls that are making his mother have some sleepless nights.
I am very thankful to all these exceptional men and women who are serving in our armed forces, past present and future, for everything they sacrifice to serve our country. Please keep them in your thoughts and do whatever you can to honor their service.

Bear and Tencubed and all the rest of us oldies, if you are over 62 you can get a Golden Age Pass for I think $10,
good forever, and they work where the Forest Service requires passes, Sandlake and Florence Dunes included, for day use and I think you can get a discount on camping.

I swung by the Forest Service, Olympic Headquarters this afternoon to pick up a pass. Found out I was eligible for a permanent disabled pass for free no less. So now I don't ever need to worry about a pass again.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

In Special Operations we get the good stuff, but I always worry about the Infantry and other guys on the ground that may not get the same equipment, I can't say to much more but if there is anything you guys can do to spread the equipment around please do so the problem is there.

Problem is that about 4 months ago the Army mandated that no one(at least in Ryan's brigade)could wear anything other than what was issued to them. Anyone that had body armour provided from home was told to send it back home. According to the Army it may have been a problem in the beginning, but everyone is outfitted with body armor now. At least we know Ryan and his unit is. I hope all our troops have all the best.
