Thread: R.I.P.

I don't think i've told anyone on here. If anyone from NC was watching the news, last week our convoy got hit and we lost 3 great Americans and seriously wounded 3 more. We had a service for them today and I want to make sure they get all the respect they deserve. PSD team was on a mission as security for Maj. George. as half the squad ran to clear the rear side of the building the 6 members entering the building was hit with a SVBIED ( suicide vehicle bourne IED ). the guy was coming out the building exploded himself and the vehicle next to the building.

---Maj. George ~ ( a great man, he was public relations officer. Meeting with Iraq leaders to Keep peace between US and Iraq. a man who's job was to change the world. Graduated from westpoint)

---1LT Benard ~ (got his commisson 2 years ago from ROTC after being enlisted. left behind a wife and 2 kids. he was also here to discuss relations along with the Major.)

---Sgt Brooks ~ ( volunteer from Missouri to deploy. he was a medic,leaving behind a wife, 2 daughters, 3 sons ) He just replaced MY medic to give SPC Miles a break that day on the convoy. He was in country for 6 days.

SSG Oxendine, SGT Freeman, and PFC Chavez was wounded. PFC Chavez is in Germany and stable, he'll be going home for his serious injury to his abodmin and legs. oxendine and freeman recieved shrapnel in the legs and arms and are RTD (returned to duty)

I'm asking for anyone who prays to keeps all the guys and their family's in your prayers. I didn't see it but I know these guys, half of them are from my hometown. I lost 3 brothers last week and 3 great military leaders. R.I.P. my friends and thanks for all you've done.

Rest in peace guys. I thank you and every one else serving. I have have the utmost respect for any one person that serves our country. I was in the NAVY, got out almost a year ago and I still have people thank me for serving. I don't regret enlisting one bit. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for joining up.

X's 2 ... it will make u a better person, even in the smallest way

Yes it will and it got me a great job working for Raytheon. Been working there for almost a year now and I love it.

I am terribly sorry to hear the news Fury! My thoughts go out their families and loved ones for sure! And to those wounded as well! And to you all that survived the attack.

All I can say is keep your eyes sharp and a good look out no doubt! And get back here safely my friend! Along with the rest of your unit!
