Title: The worse 24 hours of my life
Post by Ree on Jan 29th, 2005, 1:47pm
I just got the word that the pilots involved in the Kiowa crash yesterday wasn't my son.  This has been the most grueling 24 hours of my life.  It is with both relief and tears that I type this knowing 2 of his best friends were killed in the incident.    He spoke so highly of both men and is probably heart sick. I love you all and jonny, gator I saw your posts yesterday but was awaiting word.  I just recieved the names from FT Hood a couple of minutes ago.  Thanks buds... love to you all Im going to have a drink now...............RIGHT NOW...  love ree

I am relieved and very happy that Scott is alive and well.  I think I'll join you in that drink, Ree.  

A toast to all who serve and to those brave souls that fall in that service.  Let us remember their sacrifice that others may live freely.  It is such a terrible time in our lives when we wish news of death be for someone else.  We feel relief when word comes that our family member lives and at the same time such sorrow for anothers loss and guilt for wishing it upon them.  May this time of strife be ended soon and all our men and women be returned safely home.  And may they be remembered and honored by a thankful nation.

From what ive read....they are flying choppers that were built in the 80s or are choppers from the first gulf war.....same goes for tanks, bradleys and hummers!

Piss poor, if you ask me!....where the fuck are my tax dollars going?

Ree, I cant imagine the torture you must have felt during those 24 hours. I am truely glad that your boys are safe. My prayers are with your boys and all the others over there, in hopes that they may all come home safe. Just remember that what they do they do by choice, that is not much comfort and you wont understand, but for those of us who have laid our lives down and been with our bros do. They are a band of brothers and want to be there with each other, for each other.
