It is impossible to express my sadness for the loss of nine American Warrior Heroes on Sunday in Kunar Province, Afghanistan. Nine more Sky Angels joined the thirty three who have gone before them to heaven during this deployment.

May God give comfort to their families. May he wrap them all in his love and care. Rest in Peace men of 173rd, 2/503 Chosen Company, 2nd Platoon. Your lives and memories will forever be in our hearts and minds.

My heart is just broken over the loss of these great men and for their families.

My heart is breaking also because I don't hear from our media about these great men.

Here is an article over at Dollards Website about the movement and possibly more of what we need to expect. But it is an AFP article and well we all know how slanted the AP is.

Waziri Warlord said 3 million tribesmen will fight NATO forces massing on Afghan border.

'Scuze me for not being PC in this comment, but...

If reports of 40 scumbag Taliban were killed, then I know it was a lot more. I hope our guys (that includes our Afghan Army pals) pounded the snot out of those rat bastards!!!

Our nine new Sky Angels are in Heaven, the Taliban animals are in Hell with their 72 raisins.

My heart is really heavy for the loss of these Soldiers. Thank you for holding up their lives and their service in our memories. Thank you for sharing as much as you already have. I am going to keep the families of these men, those injured and their families, in my thoughts and prayers now. Added to the computer-side list.

My prayers are with the families of these men.

Thank you for giving us their names.

As a close member of the Brostrom family, my heart is broken over the recent tragedy.

Beginning on the afternoon of July 13th, many of us prayed over and over that there was a mix up and that Johnathan was going to call home and tell us that he was ok. I can recall many stories about John but, above all, i know that everyone will remember John as an amazing soldier. We will not be receiving that phone call that we were praying so hard for, but his family and friends need your thoughts and prayers, as do those of the other great soldiers and men affected.

[this is good]

Pruitt Rainey was a very special Man. He was a man of God, loved by everyone that walked into his path. We where so excited that we where going to get to see him in August when he came home. But God had other plans and even though we don't know what those are yet, God will show us. Pruitt will be greatly missed by his family and friends. I know I will miss his smile and humor. I could tell so many story of where Pruitt had us rolling with laughter. Pruitt was a brother to me and now I know he is in a much better place. I love you Pruitt, we will miss you greatly.

Gotta echo what you said Gunnut, and we not PC around here anyway.

Our hearts are broken for the families of our heroes. They now ride on the wings of eagles, with our love and gratitude.

In honor of:

mrs97 and Melinda ~ I hope you and the Brostom, Rainey and other families know that you are not alone in your sorrow and grief. We may not have known these men prersonally but our hearts are heavy because of the loss of these great men - these true American Heroes. May they all rest in peace and may you, the families and friends, know that we will ALWAYS honor their lives and service.
