This never gets any easier. Each time I hear news like this, I relive my own nightmare. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family as they start their nightmare journey. Stand easy soldier. Your job is done. Speedy recovery to the wounded. Charmaine

Cplwife, You mentioned in an earlier post that you were working on a commerative magnet featuring the fallen soldiers. Any word on if that will still happen? I'd be very interested in some of those.

My husband was killed in Oct 06 and I have 2 little girls. It took me until the last week of March to get counselling for them through the Phoenix Centre. And then, I'm sure, it was because the MFRC hired one of their therapists to work out of the Community Centre - giving priority to children...

From one grieving family to many others: each of you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted by the memories you have of your loved ones. To the injured: speedy recovery. You did all that you could. It's time to heal. RIP soldiers. Your job is now done. It's time to rest. ...

Sorry to hear about that Wes.  :'( It's really hard when you've lost your spouse over in the Sandbox and then to hear that people are just leaving their spouses when they get home. I would love to have my husband here so that if we fight, we can kiss and make up!  :'( So for anyone out there...

Speedy recovery to the wounded. Keep up the good fight. :salute:

I cried more than a few tears. This video is about as close as you can get without going through it yourself. When he said he was there so his kids wouldn't have to, I really cried. My husband, Sgt. Darcy Tedford, said he would rather die over there than have them come here to kill us. He didn't...

RIP soldier  :salute: To the family, my deepest sympathies.

My husband was Sgt. Darcy Tedford. He was killed in Afghanistan on Oct 14th, 2006. You would think that this case would definitely be cut and dry!! I am still waiting for the 75% top up of his pay. Apparently they have to "investigate" his military service, pay and rank. As of the week before...

Get well soon.

I bought one for my van and it was stolen within the 2 days after I took my husband to the airport to go back to Afghanistan. Now I have it put around the rear wiper (through the cutout) and it seems to work. Maybe it makes it a little more time consuming for someone to take and risk being caught!

When my husband was home on leave, he bought SWAT boots. They come in black or desert tan. It was the 1st time that he ever paid money for military kit but he said it was worth every penny. The look on his face when he tried them on was sheer pleasure. He said it felt like the boot was making...

Great article Christe. It was nice to read about some of the final words that my husband spoke and to know that we, his girls, were the best part of his leave. It was also great that everyone gets to know that the boys in the section stepped up to the plate when it mattered and did their jobs to...

Dukes Company is actually 1RCR's Alpha Company. They are the Duke of Edinburgh Company, hence Dukes. As for Charles Company, apparently they earned that name during combat in Korea if I'm not mistaken. The name has stuck ever since.
