AggieDave 6 #28 March 30, 2006 Right on! I'm so happy that you're donig so well and how badass your attitude through all of this is. I deal with a lot of different people day to day, all sorts of personalities and attitudes, and I have to say that even though I'm sad for what happened to you, I'm motivated by your attitude and outlook. Its refreshing beyond belief! You motivate me!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richards 0 #36 March 30, 2006 I don't think I have ever spoken to you on this sight however I wish to say how gatefull I am to all you veterans who sacrifice so much to go over to do the brave work you do. Cheers to you, and a speedy recovery. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

namgrunt 0 #38 March 30, 2006 hi Gwain this is a true story and let it teach you something. in 1968 when I got mt 3 purple heart. I had been evcuated to KESHINE army hospitol in Japan. I went awol for a couple houres in my issue pajamas and those cheap slippers they give you. I borrowed some cash from a fellow army guy and went over the back fence to viset a lady of the night. While gone a general officer came by with a camera man to award it to me. But I was not there, had to report to the hospitol commander and explain where i was. One of the few times i told the truth ,,he smiled gave me the awards, bronse star w/v device and 2 clusters and purple with 2 clusters and said next time wear street cloths. Those were the GOOD OLD DAYS now give us a hint WHO will be awarding yours ..59 YEARS,OVERWEIGHT,BALDIND,X-GRUNT LAST MIL.

Gawain 0 #41 March 30, 2006 QuoteAnd might I add . . . the leg looks better than I thought it would. The attitude is great - even your leg is smiling. The surgeons have been very, very pleased with the closure of the leg and the "smile" which is exactly what they were hoping for. During the time when I've been wearing a shrinking sock, it's maintained the smile and the doctors, I swear, have been showing me off to other doctors. My ankle is doing fine, but it's in a hard cast, nothing to show for it right now. So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Ragnarok 0 #47 March 31, 2006 I am reminded of the first American Soldier I took care of that had his arm traumatically amputated. He was sedated and intubated. I had him ready for evac, and his Commander, Colonel type, was looking him over. He told him he was sorry for what happened to him. He asked me if he could pin his Purple Heart to his gown. He wanted to make sure this young (19 years old) Soldier would have it. I remember too many similar stories. I took care of them for a day or two and then put them on the bird to evac to Germany. It is AWESOME to hear how you are doing, and that you are doing well, healing sucessfully, and have an AMAZING attitude. Thank you._________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
