Some of America's Brave Warriors take a moment to thank us. (Of course, it is THEY that deserve our gratitude and so much more!)

(father of Nick R. in Aghanistan) Date:  03/13/08 8:26 PM PST Subject:  From Afghanistan Jim - a forwarded email from Afghanistan: ---------- Dad We're still amazed by those from the Bore Snake site - WOW! If you would, please pass this on to them, it's our very small way of saying thanks to them and the support they're giving. We'll really never have a way to let them know just how much their support is appreciated, but please let them know we'll put the snakes to good use and carry on the fight. Things are heating up here, so keeping our stuff ready is primary and those snakes will definitely help! Again, please tell them Thanks from all of us! Nick ---------- Note: Nick is front and center in the photograph holding his M24 which he no longer uses (taken when the Platoon first arrived in Afghan, May '07) . He's been a Barrett .50 cal operator since July '07. Editor: Nick holds the Army record for the longest confirmed sniper shot in Afghanistan - 1.3 miles, 2100-meters - done with a Project Bore Snake-supported rifle! [Details]
	From:  Bruce R. (father of Nick R. in Aghanistan) Date:  03/14/08 2:25 PM PST Subject:  Re: From Afghanistan - Addendum Regarding the photograph, I should mention that Trigger, the guard dog pictured in the photo and who accompanied the Platoon on their missions, fell some months ago while doing what he was trained to do. Just thought you'd like to know. (Editor: The operational details of Trigger's death cannot be published. We wish we could tell the story. Suffice it to say that Trigger was an American Hero in the highest sense.) Bruce p.s. If you'd like to sit down one evening and read, you may find the following interesting ... in some ways, it opens a window into the 1-91st Recon Platoon's deployment - and the ups and downs of their time, to date, in Afghanistan - they still have until August before they come home. It starts off slow but I can guarantee that as you read, you'll find yourself laughing, at times you may very well find yourself experiencing an "allergy attack" - but more importantly, you'll come away with an immense sense of pride in both the Platoon and these common Americans who have chosen, like you and yours, to get involved in supporting our troops ... without question. And for that, I once again Thank You ... *s* Thread #1 http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=593882 Thread #2 - continuation http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=670465&page=1
