This is a photo that my cousin Chris took and sent me while he served in Iraq a few years ago. I am posting it today in honor of one of my friends from high school. My dad called and told me Tuesday afternoon that my friend, who was stationed in Germany with MP/Army, was recently deployed to Iraq. On Friday his convoy was hit by an IED explosion and he was very seriously injured. He is alive but I cannot imagine what he and his family are going through. He also just turned 22 last week and was scheduled to fly home for Easter for leave. Please keep my friend in your thoughts and prayers.
My heart goes out to him and his family. I pray he recovers quickly and fully. It has to be a mother's worst nightmare when her child goes off to war.
My son has just completed 12 months of his 15 month tour there and while he says that things have dramatically improved there are still many risks and dangers. My son is also 22.
If you wouldn't mind, could you please keep me updated on his condition?
