> Well honey all the boys are home safe, and beded down, it is about 7:15 in the evening here. I am going to take me a shower and go to bed. I had the worst feeling I have ever had today. One of our 5-Tons hit a IED on the mission today. When we heard it on the radio and I was stuck back here, I have never felt so helples in my life. We could feel the ground shake back at the FOB. It was unreal. Then the call up man down and my heart fell lower. I just know I was going have to pack up someboby stuff and write a letter to their mother or wife and tell them about this. The feeling was unreal. Then they could back everyone was fine and problems. Just banged up a little bit. We couldn't beleave it. When the truck got back here from the outside you couldn't tell anything happen to it. Under the truck though that was a different story. I don't know how much of leaving me behind I am going to take. At least at there I can try and do something back hear all I can do is
> listen. But everything turned out great.
