Rob,
I was in E troop when we deployed out of Beudingen for ODS/S. Shoot me your address if you feel comfortable doing that. Myself and another fellow trooper have been havig 'unofficial' reunions every year for the past 5 years here in Virginia. Even if you can't make it there's something I'm sending out in every invite that I think you'll enjoy. Our hope is that this will become 'official' and we're able to keep in touch with our former buddies.
Garry Owen,
Joe Ortiz

Thank you so much for "An Iraq Tale". My son is still in Iraq. He was on patrol on the streets of Baghdad in the middle of the night when it snowed! I am so thankful that he will be coming home soon. I have so enjoyed reading your articles, they have helped me understand what day to day life is like there. I hope you write a book soon. I am so glad that you are home and I hope your life will be richly blessed. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for serving this great country. God Bless You! Ruth Ann

Rob is a staunch conservative and a valuable asset here on Newsvine. I'm proud to have him on my friends list! We should all be grateful to Rob for his service in Iraq and for his writing here on the Vine...

My boy is serving in Iraq. I miss him and I want him to come home. He is only 19. I worry constantly. In this I know I am not alone. May God watch over them.

it was nice reading your vol. 19...my husband ( we just got married on his leave back here in NY) is stationed in Germany and god has it been extremely hard with just that! Next June or July he will be leaving for Iraq...its a while away and we wont know whats going to happen then, but it can still happen. Its nice that you can share things like this, not only to help you out but to help all the other people who have family members over there. It's almost as if you put me at somewhat of an ease. Im always worrying and its hard for me to understand how the military works sometimes, but im progressing! Anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences and thoughts...im enjoying reading them...take care...and THANK YOU for your service

I am an outsider living in the US for a yr now, leaving my adopted CAD behind. I follow the US war and politic every day, trying to understand what is the US made of? In a mere few hundreds years in history, it became a leader in so many fields and a land of so many dreams. Well I have found part of the answer: it's you, men and women of different backgrounds, nationalities, beliefs, all fighting and defending the land. In a short word, HEROES. Was it Afghanistan, Iraq and so many others lands, it were you guys and gals who did the job. Finish them up. No more VN, no more Somalia, no more Korea: fight to the end. Leave politics out, to the pencil pushers. And, above all, come home, your home.

Although the days may seem long and the nights longer, keep your heads up and guard your hearts. You are deeply missed and appreciated. I can only try to express my appreciation with words but your actions are truly what prove your appreciation for our country. THANK YOU so much. YOU are in my prayers every night and hope in the mist of all the chaos there is peace in your heart. Peace is a prayer away...love you all

Thank you for your sacrifice and service. I am a single mom of 11 trans-racially adopted children, 7 of whom are physically/medically/emotionally challenged. Each Sunday we watch videos at youtube about soldiers and their sacrifices. We talk about the sacrifices they make for our freedom, the sacrifices their families make and we pray for their safe return. Any time we see a soldier on leave, my children line up to shake his/her hand and say thank you to them. I want them to understand the costs involved, and to appreciate that the freedoms we have here in the USA are not free. May God Bless you, your family and your fellow soldiers. D Amey and family.

Soldiers, don't ever think that for one minute that you are not being appreciated and thought of by many of us back home. I speak for myself and many of my friends and family. Thanks so much for all that you sacrifice.
My son is just finishing up AIT training and is proud to be a U.S soldier and I'm very proud of him.

YOU ARE THE BEST AND May GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

i know you arent writing this anymore, but hopefully you might still check it.

just...thank you. for everything.
and im very glad you are alive and safe. i wish i could say that to every single soldier that came home.

I want to thank you for your sacrifices and all that you are doing,and for your
stories. I served in the last years of Vietnam, and getting letters from fam and
friends kept me going. You are not forgotten, its a tough job at times, but I want to let u know u are remembered, and may God be with you. You are special for doing what you do, the courage and willingness it takes is a measurement of your character.

Once again,
Thanks and god bless,
Joe

Thank you, seems such an inadequate statement but I thank you for my safety, my freedom, my free will. These are things that can be easily taken for granite. I thank god daily for the warriors that he has sent us to fight the battles many of us don't understand. It takes men and women like you to understand to very details of the mission and the bravery, courage, and honor to step forward and stand for those of us who cannot. You honor the god who has created you and the men and women at home that depend on you. So, once again THANK YOU and may god keep his loving arms around you and keep you safe until you return to the arms of all who love and honor you.

Sincerely,
Christine Clay
