I heard from MrPaseo

I got a letter in the mail from Ray on Friday. Man, you should have seen my face when I spied the envelope amongst the junk mail. I nearly knocked my husband over to grab it. I then carefully opened the envelope and proceeded to read it's contents. Here are some highlights of the letter...

Hello my friend, I hope this letter finds you well. I received ypir letter a few days ago and this is the first chance I got to write, and may be the last for a bit. image We lost one of our men the other day. He was sitting in a vehicle and an RPG round came through the roof and hit him in the chest. It just blew him apart. One other guy lost an arm, all together 6 men are out of the battle. We are now preparing to go to this town and conduct house to house clearing, more possibilities of casualties.

I sure do miss home, no talk of redeployment yet, at least two more months before they even consider it. image I miss the CU forum very much, thats where most of my friends are.


The remainder of the letter talks about things relating to what I wrote to Ray, so I won't bore you with the details.

  • My heart goes out to Ray and all his family, friends, and fellow soldiers. I went through similar
    things in Vietnam. The stress will make a young man old before his time. I hope the powers
    that be are aware of the situations our soldiers are being subjected too. The job needed done
    but the cost is going to be horrific. Just my .02.
