Thanks for sharing.  I sent the link to my wife and we'll try to stop by.

thanks for reading it! this kid has much more guts
then i would ever have.. i thought the story was
well written, and cricket handled himself well considering
what he is going through. i didnt post this here for soliciting
or anti war, he was proud to be a marine like his dad.
if you go grute would like to meet you and i will introduce
you to cricket. talked to pete yesterday. told me some
storys   just kidding, talked highly of you!

It's always sad to hear things like this. It's almost impossible to make a situation like this seem good, but it's pretty cool that he's doing what he can to look out for his kids. That type of responsibility is quite respectable.

[Grute Man]

Well I definitly have a strong feeling of gratitude for anyone who served.  I never did and lets just say hind sight is 20/20 and some of the people in my life who have been the best people to me have served our country.  Also, I feel strongly for anyone who has to suffer cancer.  I've seen it take its toll on more than one person and words can never sum up how I feels for someone else who has it.  I'd love to meet you there but Im not sure what time we'll be rollin in.  We'll be stopping between church and a church fiasco oh uhhh I mean -- event yeah thats it - an event (we'll see.)

To everyone else out there -- Greg is the type of person who gave all for our freedom and he is still giving all wether he likes it or not.  If you cant show up to help this guy, then think of everyone else you know who's served and try to help one of them out.  We wouldn't have our freedom to do all that we love and chat about here at MNO if it weren't for folks like Greg.  Thats no guilt trip; just some sincere motivation to support folks who need it.

I just got thru reading the story and I too am lost for words.What a man!!! What a positive role model for his boys and they rest of us..Each and every one of his should take a look around us and be so THANKFUL for what we have,family,health and etc. Thank you Bonehead for sharing this story and as I am writing this, I too have tears for this family...Sometimes Life just isn't fair,but who are we to decide that!!! Thanks again!!  GGM

[Randy Kaar]
