It was 1:30 in the morning and the T-ban began swarming,
The mortars came in from two different sides, the enemy gathered in their lines,
The night sky lit up like the fourth of July,
Incoming alarm sounds as the mortars impacted the ground,
I was awakened to my bed shaking,
I threw on my gear and headed to the wire, 210 rounds ready to fire,
Just 50 meters ahead a mortar impacts and the concussion knocked my Kevlar off my head,
Rushing to my feet, taking aim on my enemy,
Tracer rounds lead the way, what a way to start my day,
Fire up the 23 mike mikes, flames reach into the night sky,
A-10 Warthogs bring the pain, dumping their rounds making it rain,
The battle went on for two and half hours, they were no match for America’s power,
Once it was all clear, I helped a soldier to his feet his eyes filled with tears,
All quiet now, you’re safe and sound,
Just 19 and fighting to keep American free,
Final count US casualties’ zero, 10 T-ban joined Allah……… period.
Forever Faithful

I had my heart pounding all the way through while reading this. I am glad you are ok, that is spooky. We cannot imagine what you go through over there. I salute you my friend and your brave spirit. Be careful! Come home safe.
Hugs you

Yeah, pretty much what Michelle said. You are our heros!!!! No doubt. I have a deep respect for all of our soldiers.
Thanks doesn't seem enough but I am very grateful for all of you brave souls!
Really take care of yourself.
