Stand I here stronger emotionally and mentally than before and more determined than ever to not let anything get in the way of my goals.
I owe x SF med and LibraryLady the most. Without you guys willingness to put your personal loves (not lives but love) on hold I would not be where I am. Thank you.
And thanks to everyone else here as well. The cards, texts, phone calls, visits, gifts, etc meant so much that its difficult to say thanks enough.

Brother, we've been through this... we chose to answer the calls to be there, family is the strongest bond there is, and you're our family. God put us in a place that we were bale to do what was asked, we did it willingly... we know there is a lot you still need to accomplish, we just don't know the particulars. Being there for your HH6 and mini-me was a big part too.
You'll never know how much you gave us by needing us, we didn't, until we were well into the race...
Don't you have some running to do? You're raising a dust cloud, dammit.

James,
You are truly the most inspirational person either Sue or I have had the privilege of meeting. I am looking forward to seeing you again. The vacation at the beach is a forever option. Just let me know when you can make it.
Mike

Brother you're an inspiration for many of us. Glad to keep seeing the updates. True to form of who you are, YOU, have stepped up and dealt with your situation by the horns and ride that bitch down.
Please don't forget to give me a heads up when you are passing through Faystan.
Like Ambush Master said, you took on "Crip" after the "Incident" and while new meaning to your screen name.
Thoughts and Prayers are with'ya Crip. Be safe and Be Brave.

"Crip" always was about giving shit to a man who would never quit, no matter what. A man who cannot be crippled, only challenged.

Nurses did NOT like me using his nickname, but he was stoned out of his gourd and it was the only thing he'd answer to at the time... when he corrected the situation by telling them, he'd answer to Crip before most other things because he'd had the name so long... well they shied away...
'they' did not understand the true meaning of the nickname in it's entirety.

Still Praying
Hello all,
I was wondering how the SF soldier who stepped on an IED was doing? Any updates on his recovery? Thanks and God bless him!
V/R,
