Gawain 0 #1 June 15, 2006 This is a lengthy, yet excellent article by Micheal Fumento with the Weekly Standard. http://www.fumento.com/military/ramadi.html This is about the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne, which is my unit. This is where I was wounded and a big chunk of my company and the rest of the unit is on the line every day. These men are my brothers.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Channman 2 #4 June 15, 2006 Did you serve with any of the men mentioned in the article? The Video gives a good perspective of the dangers one must face on each and every day. Cheers to you and your unit for your service to our nation. Hope you get through your recovery and return to the sky. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #5 June 15, 2006 Nice article and videos. It helps to have been there to understand some of the video. But more importantly how are you doing? I am sorry I have been a bit lax in the last few weeks in staying in touch. I have been busy but it is still no excuse.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Things here are going well. I'll post another update in the Bonfire soon. I'll check in with you soon and see if our paths will cross prior to September.
