Well, it's only 7 years later....... Just got word today that my old unit has received the Valorous Unit Award for our actions in Sadr City 2008.
Mixed feelings, bittersweet emotions. Proud to be a part of history, saddened some of my brothers didn't make it to see this. Almost like the Army finally remembered we had a slugfest there.
Just throwing it out there.
Gonna go have a toast.

Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!

Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Cheers.
It's still amazing how the risks and sacrifices made by our members of the armed forces are minimalized by not only the public, but the govt that sent them to begin with.
Liberty is not a cruise ship full of pampered passengers.
Liberty is a Man-Of-War, and we are all crew.
Cherry Izzy! Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Here's to the folks who didn't make it back.
God bless them all.
Raise one for me Izzy. Grunts ; The real deal. Airborne brother.

All too often for the government it is like an after thought, while for those it happened to it was just yesterday.
To the fallen, may God Bless.
