 :salute The thing is, you know where he is going. And I can somewhat relate to that because my cousins are in the Marines and I have a fear of that to. :cry May God be with you. :( I thing is for sure, We will stop the Taliban and we will put an end to all Muslems who want to put up a fight. :salute

Thanks for reading his story guys, everytime I think of Eric I tear up why does God always take the best people.  He had so much to give to this world and that's all he ever thought about serving the world. 

Tell you a quick story about Eric every year at gradulation there is normally always a 17 or 18 year old kid boy/girl that almost always loses their life in a DUI related automobile accident.  Eric at the time was a State Trooper in this county where I live and he felt so obligated to do something.  Next year he set up a reinactment of that automobile crash in front of the whole High School before graduation.  That year no one died, Did he save a life for his courage to step up and do something?  This is just one thing this man did, he was wiser then anyone I knew and I know no one can be without sin but Eric was the closest I've ever seen.

 :salute to another brother down.  May they get the bastards behind it.  Even though CNN doesn't show it, yes, there is still a war going on over there.

I swear, we give them everything they could possibly want to help modernize their country, and they STILL pull this kind of crap, anyone and everyone over there that believes this is right needs to be beaten within an inch of their lives then thrown into the sea! THOSE IDIOTS are the reason that most of the population feels threatened and weak!

I really began to cry when I read that article, I pray that his family can get through it soon, and that he will never be forgotten!  :salute :cry
