off topic, Iraq.....

Well it was always a thought I had in the back of my mind that I would have to do this and communicate to my friends of a family situation.......My brother who has been a member for a few months now thanks to a fellow H.A.M.Ber paying my brother's dues and letting us enjoy this site to it's fullest has been injuried in IRAQ a month or so ago, and I'm just getting around to let everyone know since things with family have been hectic of late. He's going to recover in time but will take a bit of recovery time to do so..The story about his Operation has been Guarded since his recovery from IRAQ and since, but I'm sure in time he will be able to let us all in on what happened to him and his Team. My brother and I have served a combined 34 yrs of Honorable Service and he's currently serving with the US Army's Elite Ranger Regiment and has served this great country for 19 yrs, while serving with the Rangers for 15 yrs of this time. But with this I'll go and look to getting back to building Hot Rods with him when he returns and starts his long recovery and what else can you ask for during recovery time than putting a wrench in your hand and having a relaxing time being with family. He's not doing good at the moment but will soon enough and I'll keep you'll informed of his recovery as he will when able too.

 

He is in our prayers.

Thank you for what you and your brother have done for our great country.

-SALUTE-

 

damn man...that sucks! hope he gets better fast, his speedy recovery will be in my thoughts and prayers!

 

God bless him man, I was a USAF medic and have seen a small part of wars aftermath. I hope all goes well, thank God we have men like him, and you.

 

my best that he get well soon and have fun with cars u.s.a.66-68 nam

 

Rangers are considered elite these days?? (Hehehe )
Hey hope he is feeling better soon. My hats off to everyone who served there. Did my stint there early on, way forward with the Aussy SASR so I understand the secrecy thing. When I was injured it was a full month later when my family were notified!! They still dont know how or why and never will.
Cheers and keep up the good work,
Doc.

 

wishing him a speedy recovery.
Best,
Ralph

 

Wishing your brother a speedy recovery. Nothing but respect for the true hero's in this world. Bob Robison

 

Hang in there. All you military folk have my full support, despite the bullshit the media spews on TV about what's goin on.

My youngest brother is also over in Iraq right now, dealing with the detainees they capture. I pray for his safety every day, along with the rest of you all.

 

I hope he gets well soon.........God bless the real heros who risk there life so we can live in freedom.

 

My dad did 3 tours in Nam (2 with the 82nd & 1 with the 101st) and I was talking with him on the phone while reading this post earlier.

He wanted me to give you and your brother a hearty thank you for continuing the airborne tradition and wish your brother a speedy recovery.

I do as well, because we all know freedom isnt free.

 

god bless and best wishes for your bro to heal up quickly. thanks for everything guys.

god bless and hes in our prayers

 

I am glad he is going to be okay.

Hang tough Ranger!

 

Prayers are in. Occupation duty is the most dangerous. My Uncle is buried in Shanghai, China. He got stabbed in the back one night on patrol through the city (French Conscript, 1936). I served 20, never got a scratch. Americans love the warrior, hate the war! Hoorah!

 

Thanks for both you and yor brother serving in our nations Army.. Rangers are tough I know he'll recover in no time.. Hang in there..

 

GOD bless you and your brother, and all U.S. veterans.

I hope he has a speedy recovery and I thank him for his efforts and his service.

Here is hoping for a quick and full recovery!!!!! US Army Security Agency 63-68.

 

After all the support our Neice got (and we still don't know what happened to her) following her injury in Iraq a couple of months ago, I can only add my thoughts & prayers for his recovery.

From a "Brother in Arms", thanks for all your service and God bless the wounded one. 23 years in the Army, 3rd ACR, 2 ID, 1st AD, 1st Cav, two wars and one wound. Tell the bro hey for me and thanks for eveything.

 

From one Operation Iraqi Freedom Vet to another (two tours overseas, spent 4 years as an Air Force C-130 Crew Chief), hope the recovery is speedy and thank you for your service to our country! Hooah!!

 

Prayers for a fast recovery, and a BIG Thank-you to you, your brother, and all the other cats on here that do what you do, so guys like me can stay home safe and play with our Hot Rods.

 

Wish him and his team well and will be praying for them. We really do thank ALL you guys.
