Fellow milblogger Chuck who’s Blog “From My Position… On the Way” was hit by shrapnel from an IED a couple of days ago, he’s injured, missing his left pinky and has nerve damage to his right hand plus it sounds like a liberal peppering of the rest of his body. His sense of humor is still intact though, the first thing he asked was "Be honest with me, guys. Do I still have my face and my 'package'?" He’s the second milblogger that I know of that’s been injured by an IED, Sgt Lizzie was hit back in December and is now mostly recovered but she had to get a new set of front teeth. Every once and a while she’ll write about how some old injury is affecting her today.
For me, this is the real reason to have a blog in the Military. If something were to happen, instead of fading away, we have left a mark for the rest of the world to see that will carry on long after we’re gone. Go over and wish him well and include him in your prayers tonight.
