Leaving Salerno

Feeling like crap being transported to Bagram, then on to Landstuhl http://www.healthcare.hqusareur.army.mil/landstuhl/index.cfm for additional treatment. I somehow developed an abdominal infection which could be potentially life threatening. Very bummed out about it! I do want to thank all of the medical personnel who took good care of me throughout the entire process. Army, Navy, Marine (Semper Fi!), and Air Force. You are awesome! I managed to hit Bagram when the base was attacked right next to where we were housed. My prayers are with those soldiers who were wounded. I want everyone to know that there are brave soldiers here fighting this god forsaken "war". Let's not forget all of the civilian contractors who are putting their lives on the line as well. My hats off to all of the personnel at Landstuhl hospital! You take excellent care of our fighting men and women. My special thanks to Lt. Blair! You were so kind and made my stay bearable. Also, thank you to the army specialist who helped me immensely by helping with transportation and carrying my bags for me. You sir, are a true soldier and gentleman.

I am now in Kelsterbach germany resting in a hotel awaiting my flight back to the states. I am feeling better but may need additional treatment when I get home. Whenever you see a soldier, stop and thank them for their service! It is not a fun time over here. They all make incredible sacrifices (the next time I hear someone bitch about their Mc Donalds order being screwed up or not getting something the way they want it, you better hope I am not there). They seem to be forgotten. If the politicians would let the soldiers do their jobs and fight this war we would be better off. Politicians have no business running a war, or government for that matter. Remember this when you go to vote next time. Your vote does count. America needs to get back to the basics and stop all of this "pc" bullshit. Terrorists are just that, terrorists! They are cowards.
