JGarner890 Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Hey everyone.On 23 July 2013, I lost 3 bothers in arms + 1 terp to a suicide bomber on a suited up donkey walked in the middle of their formation while on patrol here in Afghanistan, and detonated himself. Along with the 4 KIA, 6 were wounded. 1 is currently in a coma; last I heard he is also on life support and lost both eyes. The others will recover.My platoon was on QRF (Quick Reaction Force) and responded quickly to get out there to help. It definitely was not a pretty sight. So if you would, please take a few moments out of your "busy" days to pray/remember the ones that fight for this great country. Thanks..KIA: 1LT Russell SGT Smith SPC Nichols James (Terp)WIA: SGT Welch (coma) CPL Ponce SGT Mosley PFC Andrade SPC McGwire SPC Young Perfect Practice makes Perfect.
