Red Knight Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 [quote name='kaidoh' date='Aug 8 2004, 09:28 AM']BTW who else have love 1's in the army or etc? F.Y.I. my bro is goin to Fort Hood. (is that how u spell it)[/quote] My brother spent about 9 months in Iraq starting with the opening rounds. He then spent a month or so at home and left for Afghanistan for a year. He is in the National Guard. Thankfully he is single and he made it home safe. His stories of the people of these nations and how grateful the average Iraqi and Afghani are that we are there to help them, are inspiring, especially considering I am on my way there as I write. I am also in the National Guard. I have missed my firstborn's first birthday because of preparation to go overseas, I will miss the birth of my second child, I have missed my wife's birthday, and will again next year, I will miss two wedding anniversaries, Christmas', Thanksgivings', on and on. I received a briefing from a Lieutenant Colonel describing the 'full spectrum' of the existing conflict in Iraq. We are soldiers, trained to kill, yet we are also statesmen. It falls on our shoulders to help the people of the nation of Iraq to adapt to their newfound freedoms and the responsibilities found with them. We build a school or hospital on one block, detain a suspected insurgent on the next, and fight for your life under enemy fire on the third. Regardless of why we went to war, we are there. We removed a tyrant from power, now we are responsible to the nation of Iraq. We cannot leave a power vacuum in our wake. We must do our best to leave a nation that can defend itself from the terrorists that have chosen Iraq as their battleground against the American 'infidels'. There are two types of soldiers that fight the wars of the world. There are those who take up arms and answer the call of their nation. And there are those who take up their rosary and answer the call of their God to pray for peace. These two types of soldiers are not separated by a great divide. Many of those that have taken up arms have also taken up their rosaries. Please pray for those of us that fight to secure peace through force of arms, that we may do so for the betterment of mankind and the glory of God. Peace. p.s. You spelled Fort Hood correctly, I'm leaving Hood soon myself. They'll do a great job preparing your brother for Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
