He's taking the picture from his Mount (Bradley) running in front of the Tank (pictured)

They just passed by before the IED went off... said it had rained is the only reason they could think is why it didn't go off on time?

the only thing that comes to mind seeing this is Areosmith...

Hope he makes it home safe Hog. I know you're proud of him. Cool picture.

Good pic, may he stay safe.

I know we talked about it .

thank him for his service AGAIN and we are praying he stays safe and gets home soon

Hog, He is in my prayers.

Thanks All...

#5, I thought I had sent you that when I sent the other addy??

I wish my son would park his heel's... he's been out on 3 patrols so far and the last one he said scared the living hell out of him...

He's actually a Mechanic and would be in the shop... but when they're short folks, they pull volunteers and his hand always goes up...

He's making me go bald I tell ya.. and when he's home on leave I'm going to have to fix his arm...

one thing I told him, Don't ever volunteer for Chit in the Military...

maybe I should have told him to sign up for everything? kids always do the opposite of what their parents tell them anyways? LOL

Hog

Cool !

Johnny's in my prayers. Thanks for sharing the picture Russ.

Hog,

Great pic, but it's scary how close to the action he has to be in order to get one like. It makes me proud to know that men like your son are willing to volunteer to put themselves in harms way to do what must be done... but, by all means, next time he's home duct tape his hands to his side!

God bless you both.

Russ,

He has my sincere thanks for his service and mmay he remain safe. I plan to send a package his way soon.

Russ, I'd like that APO as well if you don't mind. It would give me an excuse to whip up a batch or two of my Habanero/Apricot jelly for him and his buddies toast and such in the morning...LOL

Great pic Russ, damn you need to have a serious talkin to that boy. Break his arm, tie it down, whatever...just keep him from raising it, lol.

I understand his wanting to do his part, and admire his commitment, just let him know that he doesn't have to go out on all of them.

He will be in my prayers.

That's amazing . . .

I can only imagine the hours you've thought about this and your son while staring at this photo . . .

Thanks for Sharing and God Bless . . .

Russ

Great shot........I will pray for him as well....

Hog, that pic shows just how real it can get... All the best brother.
