I have a Google news alert for the 82nd Airborne. Anything having to do with the 82nd that crosses the news wires goes straight to my inbox. I like to keep an ear out for anything that may have to do with my brother (the one on the right in this picture).
This morning, I had a notification, and found this amazing article that is all about my brother's platoon!!!! It really doesn't get any more specific than this. My brother is from Company D, 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division....and the guy Cox, who is interviewed is one of his good friends!!!!
So my morning was very cheered. Though you have a general idea of what the guys are doing there (fighting the war, eating, sleeping, waiting for packages, etc....) this gives such a great glimpse into something that's their every day life. Something that isn't full of death.
So, this morning, here's to my brother and all the amazing things they're doing over there - including revamping their FOB!
