Elk I admire and respect your Grandson more than words can say. He deserves to have a book written about him or a movie, so more than the SigForum can hear of his service. 7 times is beyond imagining to me. The words American Warrior must be stamped on his soul! God bless him and what he has done. So far.

Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.

Yes, he got blown up in an IED, recovered from that after several surgeries.

Then as his team was arriving back in the sandbox, he got shot in the face by an "insider". Which occasioned several more surgeries.

The bullet hit his helmet buckle and was re-routed. Otherwise it would have gone thru his brain.

He simply will not quit! Listed as 100% disabled, but still refuses.


That's what I remembered which made me think this was an old post. Serious respect and props to Nate.

As for the knothead that was letting the stuff pile up, that was a WTF.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Phone call as of 20 minutes ago:

HE IS HOME!

Gotta stop now, screen getting blurry again. Gotta have that checked.

Elk, Congrats on the good news.

If you don’t mind, I would like to send you a PM. You never mentioned what Nate was in, but I have an idea. I also have a son who is considering a similar career path.

I apologize now...

Fist bumps, high fives, amens and all the rest! I know you’ve had this on your mind from the day he got his orders and I hope this will put your mind at ease.

So awesome that he is home. You deserve to be a very proud grandfather. Tell him to accept any medal they want to bestow. Those are paid for in his blood and the blood of great Americans.





Do, Or do not. There is no try.
