Update on My Friend Ben

[Nickle]

Just got an e-mail from my friend Ben, that was shot 5 times, while in Iraq. The vest stopped 3 of them.

He says they gave him a 5% chance of surviving, and he's beaten the odds. Looks like he'll be OK.

They said I had about a five percent chance of living but what do they know. Well thanks for thinking of me.

Nickle,

Please tell your friend that he has my prayers and besh wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

And my thanks for his service.

Nickle,Is he stateside,or still in germany?

 

[Nickle]

Well, he didn't tell me where he was, but I would think he's at Walter Reed by now.

 

[Wildweasel]

If there is anything we can do, Let us know.
I think some cards are in order in the least if you can get his address.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

Already asked dear. You know me. [lol]

 

[MrsTank]

Glad to hear he's doing ok. Thanks for the update! Let me know if you get an address please.

Great to hear that he's beaten the odds. I'd wager that's a testament to both the skill of our doctors and his own strong will. I hope he makes a full recovery as quickly as possible.

I'm so glad he's okay. Please send him our love and thoughts for a quick recovery!!!

 

[Nickle]

I hope it doesn't take as long to get an address as it did for him to reply. I do know he was sure tickled to get the e-mail from me.

Glad he is doing well. God bless the hero.
