I wanted to put out an update on my brother in law. He has been in Iraq for the last year and just flew in to wisconsin yesterday. Thank goodness for a safe return. It was not a smooth return though. Two weeks ago as his group was getting ready to return his battalion took a casualty.
He and some friends had just finished playing poker in the barracks. He left and returned to his room next door. There was a mortar attack and one landed in the room he just left 2 minutes earlier. It killed one of the guys he was playing with and injured a few others. Shrapnel came through the wall of his room and just missed him.
These things always happen when you are getting ready to go home. He has had some trouble sleeping since. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that he is able to get over this scare and get his life back on track as he returns home shortly.
He has been away from his 5 year old boy Conner for the last year. He has been raised by his grandparents for the last year as his mother walked out on him and his dad. He has started school while his father was away as well.
