A True Patriot...

On an earlier blog I asked for your thoughts and prayers for one of our warriors from the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment (Ryan) who was wounded in Iraq. The response, though quiet and unseen by many, was overwhelming from where I sat. You can read those original blogs by clicking here and here.

The info hounds uncovered a fresh video which provides a great update on Ryan. Thanks to all who have been lifting Ryan and his family up in their thoughts and prayers...and please...continue to pray for his recovery.

Give it a listen - wait till you hear the encouraging words from Mark (Ryan's Dad) on Ryan wanting to recover and rejoin his unit in Iraq. Wow...simply...wow! I am so thankful for each and every warrior of the 2SCR and the work they do 24x7 - could we be any prouder?

Special thanks to SPC Kenia Kraus from AFN Europe.net/Bavaria for providing the story....nicely done!

Enjoy...

Thanks for finding this and posting it. It is great relief to know that Ryan will have a full recovery and eagerly wants to return to his unit. A TRUE SOLDIER! Unforturnately, someone is always first, let's pray that he will be the last. Just think of the bragging rights he will have to that claim someday.

Terrie and Marti - I could not agree more - what a courageous young warrior. I am so proud of all of our warriors in the 2SCR!

Bragging rights...hadn't thought of that - good point! ;-)
