| Forum Health Inspector | Post; Friend's Brother Receives Silver StarHot damn. She had told me that he had been involved in some sort of combat over there last year, but I didn't realize the extent of it. http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southt...dex/10-ds1.htm http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/n...y/w09medal.htm http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/lo...221181255.html

| Immunes | Very cool. What an honor too, especially considering there's only been 25 silver stars awarded in 2 years of war. |

| Forum Health Inspector | Bump up. Two weeks into his second tour in Iraq, he got hit by a grenade: - http://cbs2chicago.com/topstories/lo...221164701.html - http://www.dailysouthtown.com/southt...dex/09-ds1.htm He apparently is doing fairly well, he should have landed back Stateside tonight (Friday, 11 AUG) and will be at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD, so I'll probably try to visit him at some point. Good grief, this is the guy's second Purple Heart!  Please keep him in your prayers. |

| Milforum Idol | I have a lot of respect for anyone in combat. He is in my prayers, though I know he'll get through it. Wonder what he'll think when he hears that internationally, people care about other people.
