    4 US Soldiers Killed in Afghanistan Sat. Jan 7th, 2012.....

    Yesterday we Lost 4 Soldiers.....Heaven Needed Some More Heroes! All were around my area except the one from Indianapolis. The Soldier who Surivived from Hammond In. Is the Uncle of my step-son's close friend. They WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN! Huah!


    INDIANAPOLIS — Four soldiers with an Indiana-based National Guard unit were killed in Afghanistan and a fifth was injured when their vehicle struck a roadside bomb as they were working to clear a supply route of the improvised bombs, guard officials said Saturday.

    The four men killed were identified as: Staff Sgt. Jonathan M. Metzger, 32, of Indianapolis, Spc. Brian J. Leonhardt, 21, of Merrillville, Ind., Spc. Robert J. Tauteris Jr., 44, of Hamlet, Ind., and Spc. Christopher A. Patterson, 20, of Aurora, Ill.
    A fifth soldier injured in the blast, Pvt. Douglas Rachowicz, 29, of Hammond, Ind., was initially treated at a military base hospital in Kandahar before being airlifted to the U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, Umbarger said.....snip~

    The Soldier flown to Germany is hurt very seriously. Skull, back, torso, over 6 pints of blood loss and more. My son's friend. She is devastated as she was close to him.

    I understand the Call.....I have lived it......I would do so again, without hesitation. But I would also go with the thought in my head. $#@! Afgahnistan and the $#@! hole it is!!!!!

    Terrible. I just posted an article about how things have gotten worse since we stopped the drone attacks. Our boys need to come home, leave that cursed place to fall into the hell of its own creation.
