Badger 6: Badgers Down
Badger 6 has written here about the events that cost the lives of three of my friends, three members of my platoon, and three of his soldiers. He has other posts as well, telling about who they were as more than names and faces. Go there if you want to learn. Don't mistake anything you read about them there as hyperbole- the CO is giving you the straight story. He knew these men, too. I doubt I'll write more about them for a while.

I started to look at Badger's post earlier today and I had to back out to steel myself. I'll read it when I have the time to bear it. Sending you....serene thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI read it before I came here. It was painful to read. I can't begin to imagine how painful it was to write, nor what you and your comrades are feeling. Godspeed.

ReplyDeleteThere will be extra prayers tonight as we pray for the souls of these fine young men and for the comfort of their families and friends.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you all, and bring you home safe. Here's a small poem which I found inspiring when I was in a similar situation, hope you like it :

ReplyDeleteYou are a headliner in my blog today, it might be helpful if you stopped by and left a note asking for my readers to vote for you.
Hi there... I love your blog. Did you actually know these soldiers personally? I was engaged to one, and I'm always looking for anyone who can tell me stories from over there. You are in my prayers daily...
