Shifty,

I had no idea as I spend my time here in the O'Club.

You did an outstanding job raising that one, to the both of you.

Thanks Mav, actually I really have to give credit to Thomas' grit to Thomas.
He was wounded on Feb 5th  from that day until April 5th his last day in surgery, he made twenty trips to operating room. I spent six weeks with him down there. Through the whole thing he remained positive, and upbeat. I just don't think I could have done it myself.

 Our family is really in debt to this platoon, the battle field medics, and all the Army, Navy, and Air Force doctors and nurses that have cared for him since.
