IraqVet & I fought in Mosul,Iraq at the same time, but I don't believe we met each other.  He woulda remembered me.  I was the the guy wearing tan with short hair & carrying a weapon, well multiple.

Well if he seen the movie BlackHawk Down, he would have seen you or your double.  :lol  the guy carrying the saw is your identical twin or you Ranger.  :x  I remember seeing your big ugly mug after you got stabbed in the forehead that you received for being the good guy back here in the real world.  I immediately knew that it was you that had been in the BlackHawk Down flick.  :devil

Actually I'm not in that picture. My son is the soldier on the far right. He did two tours with the 1st Cavalry Division. Well actually a tour and a half he was badly wounded on February 5th 2007 during his second tour and airlifted to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio TX. His older brother also did a tour in Iraq with the 4th Infantry Division. I have nothing but respect for all of you young men that have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Vet, the only pic of me in the Army that I have on my pc was taken in South America while doing narco ops.  Doesn't help much with the facial recognition. :)  I need to find a scanner.

Hard to believe it left zero scar! :lol  Enough about me though, this thread is for IraqVet.  I'm sure he has more interesting things to say anyway.  I'm about as boring & uninteresting as they come.  :salute fellas.

That's the kind of wound to have. Everything still works & you can tell the grand-kids about it when your old.  :salute

Oh, I've had a few!  :lol  Again, no scar, except for a line about the width of a hair or two.  The RPG incident did leave one however (forgot to wear my titanium chaps that day). :salute

I had a Browning 12 gage go off on the trap field when I pushed a fresh round in and it did my finger the same way . Pain for a while I tell you .

Nothin wrong with this picture. I would recommend that you get a scanner and upload your pictures to your comp for safekeeping. If you have a fire or somthing they gone forever. I have mine all saved on a zip drive.  :aok
