I know what you're feeling. A platoon mate from basic survived an IED attack when everyone else in his vehicle died. It's creepy to read it in the newspaper and go "I know that guy".

Everytime a friend is posted overseas, I have to stay away from the newspapers and other news media. Sacrifice puts life into perspective. My brief time in the military intensified my resolve to become a better person.

Aww honey, he's in my prayers as much as you are. It's easy to forget where you are for the next few months. Keep your head down and be careful. You'll be getting a box from me in a few days so be on the look out
