A lot of y'all have probably seen the threads in off topic but if not this is my friend SGT Jason Walker who lost his leg after stepping on an anti personnel land mine during our last deployment to Afghanistan. He has been going through a lot lately and may end up losing his other leg which has caused him to suffer from severe depression and a lot of physical pain. I got a group of buddies together and organized a trip down to Ft Sam Houston to hang out with him for the day. I have to say hanging out with him was a very humbling experience. It is really an eye opener as to how lucky we are to be healthy. He did say that they are taking extremely good care of his family and himself. All in all it was a great day.

My gratitude and respect for you men sends chills down my spine. The back bone and balls you guys have make anything i have done or will do pale in comparison.
