    I just figured I would pass along sad news that I heard on my "local" board. Miles, aka "AmericanSoldier" as he was known on the boards, was fatally wounded in Iraq in Sept. by a roadside bomb.

    It's a shame that there are still many people fighting this war and losing their lives. My heart goes out to his family. The writeup can be read here: New England Pontiac Enthusiast Club • View topic - Miles died in the war in Iraqq... im sorry to all aware

    Just figured I'd let you guys know.

    The info I posted was straight from the link I posted. As far as I know, he was in Iraq. Also, when is the last time the government gave us straight answers about what's going on over there?

    That's so sad. Miles was a great guy. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

    I was under the impression that he had got out for good though. Last time I talked to him he was doing a contracting job in the area.

    Damn. R.I.P. Miles

    That's what I thought too, but I heard he got a short notice request to go back. Certainly sucks.

    I know I helped the guy over PM's a few times here...I sat wondering why that name seemed so familiar to me. My condolences go out to the family.

    Miles made the ultimate sacrifice for his country.

    Rest in peace, brutha.
