But I trust in you, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me. Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing love. Psalm 31:14-16 Letter home from Kevin December 21, 2004 Kevin: " We had just finished a patrol and were heading to the mess tent for lunch. I saw my commanding officer and gave my report to him. I turned to head towards the mess tent, I was approximately 100 yards from the tent when the explosion occurred. I dropped to the ground and waited for a second explosion. Then I ran to the tent to help. I came across two of my best friends which were mortally injured. I held the first in my arms as I felt him slip away. I reached over and grabbed the other and told him to stay with me as he slowly succumbed to his injuries. My immediate thoughts were why as I felt the hurt and the pain inside grow. I looked around and saw other men being cared for and quickly realized had I been 5 minutes earlier, I may be among the fallen as well. 13 of my brothers had fallen." May/June 2005"While on IED patrol with my men, we encountered an explosion from an IED. Moments later as the dust cleared, I checked myself for injuries and quickly noticed my friend next to me with a mortal injury to his head. I reached out and put my hand on him as another soldier moaned in pain. I quickly got up and assisted him until the medics arrived. After this, I collapsed and immediately thought to myself why not me. I got up and told the medic that I needed the piece of shrapnel from the deceased. He asked me why. I told him that I need it to make sense of why I didn't get hurt. Why I didn't die" Certificate of Recognition In recognition of your service during the Cold War (2 September 1945 through 2060 26 December 1991) in promoting peace and stability for this Nation, the people of this Nation are forever grateful.
