Lost a Real Good Friend
« on: October 15, 2011, 12:52:46 PM »
Our country lost a hero this last week. He was SSG Robert B. Cowdrey. He has been a flight medic with the 82nd Airborne Division through 4 deployments. He has saved countless lives and now has lost his. I am deeply saddened by this loss. Please pray for our troops and their families, we all need it.

Dinny, it's men like this that make this country so great. It's sad that so much trival stuff makes headlines, and a real hero's get so little attention. I'll pray for him, his family, and you. I truely believe there is a special place in heaven, for soldiers and sailors, that gave all. May God Bless. gypsyman

Prayers said for him and his family and friends.
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Seen a lot of this breed of men.  Spent 22 years active duty and my son in law is a MP at Carson.  A great loss when ever one goes on to Vahalla.  I hope you find comfort in he was a warrior.
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold an

Thanks Denny!


I made a little picture memorial for him next to my desk at work. He is a great inspiration.

Dinny;
  First off;  thank you, thank you, thank you, ..to yourself and all your military brothers & sisters..for their selfless sacrifices.
 If there is one job that is tougher than being a soldier in an operating combat arm; it is the spouse & children of that soldier back home.
    Let's all offer a prayer that God continue to support and encourage Kimberly and family..an d ease their pain..
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)
