I posted a video on my web that everyone should look at.
Click her to watch it
On Sunday I got an email from Nick Essick. Nick worked here at Leerburg for 3 years while he was iin high school. He was on of Jeff's (my sons) best friends. Nick is a gunner ona a humvee that escorts convoys all over Iraq. He was on his way from Mosul to the Syrian border.
In the last two weeks his company has killed 11 terrorists. He has had 2 IED's go off within 50 yards of his uparmored humvee. They were lucky they had no injured Americans.
As we go about our daily lives - we should not forget we are at war. I wonder what would happen if only half of the 11 terrorists had made it to America.
You can see a photo of Nick on my web site. click here Nicks picture is half way down the web page.

Thanks Ed, Great video........
Yes. "A Pittance of Time," indeed, to stop and remember what's happening over there. My niece is serving, and I'm send her the URL too, just to say that we DO stop and remember and bless them.
Thank you.

Seeing your sons' picture puts a lump in my throat. My dad retired from Ft Benning. He fought in WW2, Korea & was an advisor in Vietnam. What my father did & what your son is doing cannot be thanked enough. Regardless of someones belief in the validity of a war, they must believe all these guys are true heroes.

It is my sincere hope, that we as a people who uphold the value of liberty, should NEVER be so blind as to allow our vanity or the struggles in our own lives to overshadow the duty fufilled by those in service to our country. Nothing could dishonor the achievement more than to forget that our road to freedom was paid by those who layed down their lives as the bridge.
God bless ALL who've worn a uniform in defense of our country. Your Courage is remembered.
Thanks Ed.
