"These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
"My Immortal"
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
"My Immortal"
It's getting harder to find the right words. What are the right words? Please forgive me if I struggle to express my feelings. The 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment...no, we...have lost another young, brave, courageous warrior...
I have been following this story since it broke last Friday. The headline read...
Coalition Force Soldiers attacked in Diyala
The words, as they always are, were sterile..."TIKRIT, Iraq – One Soldier was killed and five wounded in three roadside bomb attacks on Coalition force patrols in Diyala province June 20."
The pain started and I didn't even know for sure...but somehow I knew...
What caught my eye? One word...Diyala. I winced when reading that word...and I began to pray for an unknown family who was about to have their world turned upside down by a simple knock on their door...
My tears still roll...I wonder if the stains left behind by these tears can be seen...I wonder...
When will it end? Our hearts are broken. My prayers and thoughts go out to this warrior's family and friends. SSG Du Hai Tran will never be forgotten...never. We will remember...
Linger over the following words for just a moment...won't you?
SSG Du Hai Tran, 30, of Reseda, Calif., died Jun. 20 in Baqubah, Iraq, of wounds suffered when an improvised explosive device detonated near his unit while on patrol during combat operations. He was assigned to the Fires Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, Vilseck, Germany.

My condolences go out to the Tran family and all the families who have lost a son or daughter making the ultimate sacrifice.
It never gets easier to hear this news. More broken families, more broken hearts, more reasons to bring our soldiers home.
When a few days, or even a few weeks pass without another death notice, we begin to acquire that false sense of security and hope that there won't be another. Once again that hope has been dashed, and another family grieves. My prayers for SSG Tran's family and loved ones. George, Dan's Dad.
My condolences go out to the Tran family and all the families who have lost a son or daughter!
