Here is a Pic of me with 2 other Vets I served with when I deployed to Iraq in 2003 the dust hadn't settled yet after the invasion of Iraq, the gentleman in the middle was a Platoon Leader in Company that was seriously wounded. He and had to be evacuated back to the states. I havent seen him since then and it was very theraputic to see him and tell him everything I wantd to face to face.

I had a great time at the Reunion and even though Hero Con was not scheduled this year, This was my Hero Con. It was my first time attending a military function like this and a great experience. To be able to talk to Veterans first hand about some of the situations and battles they had fought made me remember that I was just a gnat amongst giants. These Veterans always came to us and thanking us for our service but I always replied, "Thank you for making life easier for us today." I remember hearing on gentleman saying after my reply, "Someone has to do it."

CAR: Best Ribbon Ever.

Sounds like you had a great time, glad to hear it.
