WoundedBdgr, you there. You haven't been on in a while. For all I know you could be anywhere in the world.

Very true, and thank you for Eric. Just leanr all you can 'listen' to those who know, and never get complacent, the rest in in God's hands.

i'm joining the canadian army after i turn 18, and i have a long time friend who i consider a sister, and they want to join with me, i hope that nothing happens to anyone...but unfortunatlly nobody can control what happens outside the wire.

LEST WE FORGET CAPTAIN ERIC TERHUNE.
R.I.P CAPTAIN.

January 13th 2012 will mark the 4th year of passing of whom I called my brother for 15 years, Captain Eric Terhune, United States Marine Corps. Everyday it's like I've lost him again and think the one time we weren't serving together is why he didn't make it home. It is amazing the words that come to mind, or stick with you, through your life when you think about the last thing you ever said to someone you truly loved. I made the mistake of saying the one thing we never said to one another in all those years, "Stay safe and come home". We knew to never say it. I knew somehow when I hung the phone up, that would be last time I would ever talk to him, and it haunts me to this day and upsets me everytime. I know it was out of my hands, but it will always feel like those two things, my not being there, and those words were what jinxed the whole thing. (abbreviated from facebook post)

This morning the thought comes to mind. Though many of us may feel that our great country is in turmoil, with the differences of opinion, beliefs, and morality, I must say, that I am still greatful to God to be free and living in the greatest country in the world. Merry Christmas everyone, and may the New Year bring you all you hope and dream for. -Woundedbadger0317
