One year anniversary
My soldiers and I will always remember the 21st of July because it was the time we came the closest to taking casualties from coordinated IED strikes. We were lucky, our vehicles withstood the blasts and no one was seriously injured. No question about it, the good folks at AM General who manufactured our trucks (and all the upgrades) did a magnificent job. Given the type of devices, placement of the IEDs, and their proximity to us, it is a miracle we were not hurt or our HMMWVs damaged- and "miracle" is not a term I use lightly. You do not have to convince me of the existence of God.

No doubt the Guardian Angels were on duty that day...

Shrapnel, dirt, rocks, and the shockwave flew around him leaving him untouched. He described it as "being in a bubble of grace".
There are no atheist in the foxhole. All America's warriors have ceaseless uncountable prayers of thanks for them and for their safety, strength, victory, and salvation. God bless them every one, and through them, America.
Thank you for your service to God and country.
