What a group of guys.  To be a part of this is an honor and a pleasure.  Understand, they are all crazy as a Jay bird but I would go anywhere with them, anytime.  Just kidding about the Jay bird crack. These are the most well restrained professional Soldiers you will find anywhere in the World.  I say that without fear of contradiction of any kind!  Always operating with the safety and care of the people around the City of Mosul.  Their leaders are the best NCO’s I have seen in a long time.  Then again all of the NCO’s I have meet in Iraq are Nothing short of BAD ASS!  SFC Myers, SSGT. Birdseye.  But the guys I have seen here in Mosul are nothing short of legendary... SFC Bruss, SSGT kiehn, SSGT. Danecker, SSGT Maher, SGT “Doc” Christain SFC Medina and so many more.  These guys are awesome.  We owe them so much.  Me personally... I can never repay them for what I have received.

 

So for those of you in Washington that are willing to convict Soldiers and Marines based on a inaccurate News Report propagated by those who leading the way in misinformation, shame on you.  That is how I will frame this, shame on you.  And that is only because my mother will probable read this.

 

You idiots have done more to harm this Nation for your own personal gain than the savages we are fighting will ever do.  Stick that in your pipe and smoke it you little winnie bitches... sorry mom.  I couldn’t help myself.

 

No matter how many times I hear it, it will never be said enough or loud enough.  These are the finest Americans we have at our time of need.  Over my travels I heard many reasons for “why I joined”.  And many reasons that they are think about getting out.  No matter what that it.  They are all proud to be able to say that they served their country well when they were asked.   Nothing more, nothing less.

 

All of them are heros of a grateful Nation,each and everyone of them.  

 

I only hope and pray that when this is done that I have been able to make you as proud of my efforts as I am of you.

 

Thanks for the ride fella’s, Mikie... OOUT!
