See you all in October

Please be safe.

Wow, very eerie to see names of buildings, roads, and camps that I've frequented all in a list of Dead, alongside one soldier from my company. If you cant figure it out, having things named after you over here in Afghanistan is not a good thing at all.

Thanks for your service, TallBill, and please keep yourself safe. :thumbsup:
