This evening I received a distro email update from the father one of my friends from West Point informing everyone that a few days ago my friend was out with her MP team and her team was hit by an IED (roadside bomb). The IED killed four of her soldiers. Even though I spent a year in Iraq and my brigade suffered losses like that at times, I didn't know any of the platoon leaders of the soldiers who died, and I didn't have a platoon of my own at the time. What I am trying to say is that the news always hit me hard, but it wasn't as personal. Now, I don't even want to think about what it would be like to lose one of my soldiers, let alone four. Please pray for my friend Jordan and her platoon.
