General Peter Pace pays tribute to fallen comrades:



The cards were personally addressed and said something like:

These are Yours - not mine!
With Love and Respect,
Your Platoon Leader,
Pete Pace 1 Oct

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs had laid down his rank for his boys who died in Nam just the day before! I later found out that 1 Oct was also the same day he stepped down as chairman.

...So, Peter Pace steps down as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, heads to the Wall, and leaves his stars - the representation of his successful career - because his men are responsible for that career. And some of those men are on the Wall....

Soldiers capture kidnapper, free hostage:


When the Soldiers burst through the door, the kidnapper who was guarding Majeed literally jumped out of his shoes and made a break for the roof, said Hot Springs, Ark., native Staff Sgt. Jeremy Hand. The Soldiers caught him before he could make it out of the house.A search of the house quickly located Majeed, who was lying on a cot in a small room. Until the moment the Soldiers came into the room, Majeed was sure he was going to be killed, he said.

When the Soldiers’ interpreter explained to Majeed that he was being rescued, the shop owner hugged and kissed him.

"Thank you, America!" he exclaimed.

Later that evening the Soldiers brought Majeed’s brother and a cousin to see him, and the three of them shared a long hug together when they were reunited.
