Oregon Guard since 1989. 11 Boo Boo. Spent this past year working as a Combat Advisor (ETT) to the CNIK (counter narcotics infantry kandek) in Afghanistan. We spent the spring threw October down in the Helmand and Kandahar provinces fighting bad guys. Our team of 15 lost a great friend and member, two Afghan interpreters also died in the same incident. We have had 7 Purple Hearts and 5 Valor awards. The Lord willing we'll make it home by Christmas.

I was of the Vietnam era, was in college when the lottery system was put in; my number for my county was 172 and was called to take my physical but they stopped at 168 though I was ready to go.
The friends and acquaintances who chose to depart to Canada at that time saddened me and their lives were changed forever.
My heart felt thanks for all vets here of any stripe and service for your gift to the rest of us.
