The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

It's been 4 years.... 4 years since that fucked up day. i still remember it. I talked to you only hours before it happened..... i was the last one to see you smile, the last one to say goodbye...

you went out on a mission.... i went on a mission the opposite way. I remember hearing the explosion and the shill that ran down my spine.... we heard so many explosions in Ramadi but this one was different... i just knew something was bad wrong. Then i heard the call for medevac on the radio....



i knew it was bad. i remember my friends walking up to me and telling me you were gone. i remember breaking down in the middle of iraq... i've never cried so hard.... my best friend and brother was dead.... then in the morning had to go through the bloodstaind clothing and gear of you and the others that were cought in that explosion. rifles deformed, bent and burned to the point you can't hardly identify them.... blood everywhere... searching through the bloodied gear and clothes looking for ID cards and personal items that would be sent back home, and any gear that we could salvage that didn't have to much blood on it.



i remember sitting on your bed and thinking about us hanging out back in the united states, drinking and watching Star wars with you....



Joe.... I love you... your are my brother and my best friend... i'll never forget you. not a day goes by that i don't think about you... and i will make sure that no one forgets about you or the day that you and the others made that ultimate sacrifice.

A Brother, A Bestfriend, an awesome drinking buddy.... here's one for you.



As for everyone else... i can't really write anymore about this... its way to painful and emotional.... the night this happened was so bad.. so many people were severely wounded...... i just can't type about this anymore... but people should know.... everyone should know about the sacrifice he made.

Its a sad fate that the world should be reduced to such barbaric acts because human nature in itself dictates that we be closed minded enough to fear what we don't understand. People do know the sacrifices made even if they don't agree with the war. Even those who survive and come home are scarred. I've seen it in my friends, including you. Their dreams haunt them and there's always shadows in their eyes that no light can touch, even in the warmth of family and friends. Don't ever forget, your memory will carry him and keep some part of him here so everyone will know.



Love from Bama...

for the last few days i've been moving into my new house......

the house is great but the moving part sucks. i think it might have something to do with me moving 5 times in the last year.
