| Too old to run, too mean to quit! |
He was sent over there alone as a top priority a short while ago, and we were wondering why. Now we know. Wife and I both in tears as we watched the Presidents comments regarding the operation that took down Baghdadi. Thanks, God. A lot of tears around here and at his parents' place.This message has been edited.

Congratulations Elk! Our DIL has been over there for the past couple of months working on the intel side. Should be home in a couple of weeks...Maybe they know each other?? ------------------ Eddie Our Founding Fathers were men who understood that the right thing is not necessarily the written thing. -kkina | |||

I gather this has something to do with that al-Baghdadi guy? Very, very cool. _______________________________ The artist formerly known as AllenInWV | |||

Serving in the armed forces is a praiseworthy and honorable act, even it it’s due to conscription or if at some point someone says, “That’s it; I’ve had enough,” and stops serving. It is a far different thing, though, when someone volunteers for such duty, experiences some of the horrible consequences of volunteering for a highly dangerous activity, and then voluntarily returns to the cauldron. Those who are waiting for their return can only try to exhibit a fraction of their courage. Glory to all heroes. ► 6.4/93.6 “It is peace for our time.” — Neville the Appeaser | |||

That's great, Elk. Now please edit your subject line. | |||

Umm...where is “over there” and what happened? Glad he’s OK. Did he go to Chicago? -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

Could be, but I suspect that he didn't get much involvement with the intel side. Could be wrong. Please convey to your DIL my/our appreciation for her service!!
