MOSUL, Iraq, March 21st, 2006 — “Pop, pop, pop, ting!” As my Humvee filled with smoke from a fire extinguisher that had just been pierced by a round from an enemy AK47, I dropped into the truck from the turret to make sure my head had not just been blown off. I could hear every breath. My heartbeat had moved into my eardrums. The only thing louder was the sound of bullets buzzing past my ears like supersonic bees. I took a deep breath, stood up and manned my .50 caliber machine gun.
Wow. Truly an amazing story.
It is honestly like this that give me even more respect for the type of person you are the type of true/real journalism you produce.
Thanks for your service and thanks for sharing such a heartwarming story of how your God is using your son to help you as you celebrate the life God blessed your family with.
It is amazing how God turns things the enemy intends for evil into good things for His faithful servants.
Thank you, again. I read this every year you print it.
