Salute To A Brave Soldier
Assumption of Command has let me know of a Milblogger injured in the line of duty. Chuck of From My Position... On the way! Chuck's wife is posting and keeping us all updated on Chuck's well-being. She is proof positive of the heroism of those our soldiers leave at home.
For those who may be thinking, "We just need to bring all the troops home and forget this war," let me tell a quick story.You have to salute a woman like that -- and drop over there and leave her a comment telling her what a hero she is, and, needless to say, her husband.
As you know I told Creighton that his daddy was hurt and that he will be okay and coming home soon. One of the questions he asked was, "Why did Daddy have to go so far away to get the bad guys?" I said, "Daddy had to go far away to fight the bad guys so we are safe here in the US. We don't want the bad guys to be here in our country, so brave men and women like Daddy go far away to make sure that never happens." (A side note... a 5 year old is too young to understand that bad guys are here in the US and managed to do some serious damage on 9/11).
