This site has really gone to shit. Why don't we just turn it into the FOB Summerall Casuality list?. It's a real discrace to Blue Star Dad & Rakkasan Dad, that it has not been well kept up. I guess that goes to show you, leave it up to the 101st th fuck things up.

i just wanted to say that i also read this sight .our son came home 3 months ago, from summerall. and this sight helped us so much. some days were filled with such fear and to be able to share thoughts tears and hope was so wonderful. to know what the guys wanted in the warm weather and cold weather. how hand warmers helped, who would have thought. what movies they wanted, anything to make life easier for them. the pictures he brought home showed so much more about what its like, the children who flock to the soldiers, you can see they feel safe around them. i wish we could have seen some of this through the long deployment we as parents would have felt the human side of this whole thing. i always thought everyday was so awful, but then i see how they joked around pulled pranks laughed alot. i know they had many days that were brutal, but they are an awesome group of men and women, they dealt with death and injuries but still managed to live some sort of a life there. my son has come home a grown 22 year old, with stories of bravery and metals and stories that really touched our hearts about people there. hang in there , and get some one to help with this sight, you will look forward to sharing your thoughts with others. these brave men and women need to see strength on the home front . death is always a daily reminder of where they are at so make a sight that gives comfort. and i want you to all know that you are in our prayers and thoughts always. we will never forget the sacrifice they have made or the families. god bless you all elaine, mother of a 303rd m.p. gunner
