Trouble in Iraq
Our fellow blogger and soldier in Iraq Yoan Hermida has been deployed to the Syrian border. I just got wind of the bad news that there have been a lot of fighting in the area and that 14 American soldiers have perished in the fray of combat.
The Marines were members to Regimental Combat Team 2, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward), the military said.
One Marine also was wounded in the attack.
I wrote a little note to Yoan, and I encourage y'all to do the same and show our respect and support for the troops in the ground, remember, any terrorist they send to hell in that area is one less terrorist that can make it to our shores. Thank a soldier, if you run into any member of any branch of our armed forces when you go about your daily business.
God bless America and our soldiers. They are in my prayers daily.
As part of the trouble in Iraq a fellow blogger from NYC was assassinated in Basra, he was found dead in that southern Iraqi city. According to the US embassy in Iraq Steven Vincent had been shot multiple times after he and his female Iraqi translator were abducted at gunpoint hours earlier by unidentified terrorists, Iraqi police reported.
I don't know Mr. Vincent or his blog, but my prayers go to his soul and to his family in this horrible moment.
