An Amazing Group of Volunteers

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Military -- Group of volunteer Guardsmen leaves for combat in Iraq

The men come from all over the state, including San Diego County. They signed up for an especially dangerous mission in Iraq: providing security for U.S. military convoys, which are often targets of roadside bombs and other attacks. Roadside bombs are the single biggest killer of U.S. troops in Iraq.

I first heard about this story yesterday on the way home from work. I'm just amazed at these people and proud that they are Americans. Many of them are going back a second or third time for this extremely dangerous duty.

Check this out:

“There is no easy way to say it: I absolutely hate leaving for 18 months,” Quinn said as Kalani rested her head on his shoulder, her arms around his neck.

“But I can't let these (Guardsmen) go without me.”

May God bless and protect these men.
