Hello everyone. Today is a very sad day today for me. On my last tour before i came home for the holidays, we got in a firefight ( area classifid ) but as we were running to get out of the area my friend was hit in the leg so the medic pick him up and we ran about another 80 yards to the L-Z. So on the ride back to base ( Base Classifid )
the medic was stoping the bleeding, so when we landed on base the doc had him put in the ER on base.
( hours later )
The Doc said he was doing better but a 50-50 chance of living.
( the next day )
They sent me home for the holidays. I was spending time with EVERYONE having a great time.
( Just two days ago )
I got a call from my buddys family saying he has pasted away, I tryed not to cry but i could not help it.
But i tolded his Mother and Father that he fought hard and was a GREAT Solider. His Mom and Dad thanked me for what i do and how I'm a hero, I told them " I'm no hero your son is".
( today )
Today we lay to rest Airman Ortiz, RIP my brother. NEVER FORGET.
