This war is starting to hit close to home!! Did either one of you know the men from your hometown who died over there??
I was at a track meet in Pecos yesterday and there were yellow ribbons on everything. I also found out that a Greenwood resident was cousin to Johnny Mata. Someone had a Midland paper there and I was reading about the Pecos and Sweetwater casualities, when I came across an article about a 19 year old soldier from Coahoma (where I went to school)-Chad Bales Metcalf. I went to school with his uncle.
I have a nephew whose unit is being sent to Iraq tomorrow.
God bless these families who have lost loved ones, and ALL the men and women who are over there right now!
