I think if a few others step up we can make a year happen here folks.

A is nice, but a month of AH won't cost ya much to add to it.

I'm in for a month.

Ill give a few more insights on what happened with my injuries. When the RPG hit the truck i was standing on the other side of the impact but when it blew up it sent a peice of metal about 4 inches long and 3 inches wide into my lower back on the right side. It took out some nerves and came withen 1 mm of my kidney. Then the shot I took in the right thigh was about 8 inches down from my hip it broke the bone on impact. At this point I was still running for some cover when I saw a friend pined under the hood that had blown off the truck. I stoped to turn around to go help him but that was when I was hit the secound time in the left shoulder just below the color bone, the bullet hit my the lower part of my colar boan breaking it clean. The bullet then bounced down twords my heart but was stoped and diverted by one of my ribs, were it left my body. When I was hit the secound time it knocked me on my back. When I got up to try to help my friend thats when a secound RPG went off right were my buddie was laying. It was at that time when I saw the first of 2 apache's fly over they had seen the fire fight and came to help, but they were a little to late for me and my buddie. My other friends then helped my to a hemit that we were using to try and tow the 5 Ton. Thats all I rember for about 30 minuts untill we made it back to the FOB. Then I lost it again and woke up in germany. I have fully recovered since then. I just woent be able to have kids though since I lost some nerves in my back. I still have use of every thing else though.

If you were wondering about my Buddie under the hood .. He dident make it. It was and still is a sad loss to me and my other friends to this day. And I have dreams just about every night of what happaned. I wish I could have taken his place. He had more to go home to. But now his wife and 3 kids will never see him again.

On the purple heart I declined it. Because I doent think I deserv it. If I had removed the wheel chocks befor we tried to move the truck then this never would have happaned, and he would still be alive to day. I place the blame soley on my self for not moving them in the first place.

I hope you can all understand, I am deeply moved by the kindness of all of you and I doent think I could ever repay any of you for the respect and gratutde that you have shown me today.

This is the one reason why I joined the army. I was tired of honest and desent people being killed or hurt by anyone. And I was and still am willing to give up my life for this.

I want you all to know that what I did and what I had to go through was to help the best way I could to stop all the killing of inocent pepole. And even though I lost one of my best friends I would still willing give my life if it would end all the need less killing that goes on in this world.

I want to thank you for reading this, even if you doent understand what im going through. It's still nice to know that some of you read this and show so mutch respect for what we do.

I want to apoligise for this message being so long, and I want to thank you all for the support and love you show me and the rest of the military. You doent know how mutch it means to us to have your support.

Thank you again.

One of the main reasons I enlisted and will be spendign the next 20 years of my life in the military. To protect the honest and decent people left in this world.

You sir paid a huge price for your service to your country so we all can sit on the other side of the world on our butts and complain online to others sitting on their butts. Again, thankyou sir. You and your fellow soldiers deserve the greatest respect from all. You have joined a elite group of men and women who know what serving their country truely means,

Thankyou again sir.

On the transfeer I requisted it. I knew that If I stayed active I would have to go back to iraq and I wasent too keen on going back. Watching your friend die tends to make you not want to go back. Now on to the BS part I would like to know how you know me and how you know what I did. I doent recall ever seeing you over there. Cause Im sure If I did I would have know. I ask a lot of people many things, to get to know them more and I did ask hobbies. And not 1 person ever mentioned Aces high to me though I did when they asked what I liked to do. So how can you say this is BS you doent even know me or know what I went trough.

Welcome home, brother.

Don't blame yourself for what happened to your buddy. There's was no way to react that quickly under that situation.

Yes I did go into the guard And I completed basic training while in the national guard. But after basic I went active, My drill sargents convinced me to do that. So when I completed AIT I got sent to Iraq. I never stated that I went in as Active I just stated that when I got back I transferred to the National Guard. And the wobble thing I not sure who your thinking of but I doent think it's me.

Time to kick back, nuke some popcorn, crack a beer and see if Mini is going to eat his words.

How about this one Mini... Thats a pretty serious charge. If hes legit you are going to pick up his subscription for a year and apologize on this thread?

Fair enough?
