After two tours in Iraq, my son is in Afghanistan......

During his second tour in Iraq, his unit solicited shoes and sandals from the folks back home and distributed them to the many shoeless children around their post.

During his first tour, early in the war, his unit tried to ensure that the people got enough to feed themselves, as not much commerce was happening.........

the unit never moved anywhere without plenty of candy for the kids.........

Prayers for the safe return of all our guys. The MSM never points out the good our troops try to do for the folks over there. It is a long process to build good will with the folks who have been under Taliban dominance. :flowers:

I disagree on the MSM comment......... Larry's unit's efforts have been written up at least three times to my knowledge....... he's also been interviewed on NPR once................

Is it that we see what we want to see ".....Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"......... ??
to bastardize a quote; "If I hadn't believed it, I never would have seen it "

Thank you for sharing Larry’s story with us. He and his fellow troops are the true wealth of our nation and we will never be able to repay the dept that we owe to them. It is due to the unselfish sacrifices made by our nations’ young men and women in lands far from home that we are the nation that the world turns to today.

Wow! Too close is right!!! I sure hope that some lasting good comes out of all this. Even so we may never see it in our lifetimes. We can only hope humanity will come to its senses and banish war to the history books forever.

May Newsletter; attached !

As you'll know from the Newsletter, his unit is ON IT'S WAY HOME !!:clap:

Larry will arrive in D.C. on Wednsday, 6/9, and will be met by his wife and kids. They coop there overnight, then proceed home the next day.
He'll get a State Police escort from his 295 exit to his house (about six miles) where the Williamstown (?) fire dept. will be waiting, with a huge banner hanging between two fire trucks.

If any of y'all are anywhere close, come to the party !!
