Popular Post Frosty Posted March 21, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is a story about a man named Johnny Smith who was a truck driver in Iraq which I had the pleasure and honor of working with there for almost 2 years and was a very close friend of mine. he was also a member of this site. johnny was on a mission Friday night when his truck hit an I.E.D and caught on fire. He bailed out of the truck to try to make a run for it but had to run thru the flames. he suffered 3rd degree burns on 70% of his body. he was flown to germany but passed away in during sugery from wounds he received from the blast.

ammo2001 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Most everyone who has been in the Middle East has had someone they know injured or killed....me included. We EXPATS come over here knowing "it" could happen to us but look forward to the opportunity to support our military and help our families. When the unthinkable happens we are all left to wonder at the validity of our reasons for putting ourselves in harms way. Rest in peace my brother Ammo out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Stay strong Frosty. And if you are in touch with Johnny's family tell them he will not be forgotten. We should use this to know that we don't have to put people down. Every single persons feelings here should be considered when responding to posts. Maybe we can come together as a stronger unit and stop the bashing. We should be able to debunk and offer opinions in productive non aggressive ways. We never know when someone on these sites will take the journey to the other side. I don't want to be the one who hurts someone's feelings due to bad wording in a response and find out they passed away. Lets stay positive and treat each other as brothers and sisters. We are all here for the same reason. God Bless, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
