I loved your Blog. <BR/><BR/>PFC Bradley Kritzer was my best friend. We grew up together. When I heard news he had died. I fell apart. I was in Ramstein Germany at the time, and was there when his body came through for his last flight home. I was allowed 10 minutes with his casket, onboard that C-5, as I knelt down beside him, and cleaned the flag that covered his transfer case. In tears, I said my final goodbye. <BR/><BR/>I loved him. More than he will ever know. Time doesn't heal the pain, and it doesn't make it less difficult. I still cry at night when I think of him. I still wonder if he hears me. <BR/><BR/>I am married now. With a child of my own, and I am due to go to Iraq in May.<BR/><BR/>I realize that this war is unwinnable. However, I also realize, we are in too deep to pull out now. For the sake of our countrymen and women we must be there. to keep the war off of our own soil. <BR/><BR/>Thankyou for remembering my friend.<BR/>Thankyou for voicing your thoughts.<BR/>Maybe someday someone who can change this.... will do something about it.TamaraBodnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932038249067923111noreply@blogger.com
