Old Friend

[SpongeJuan]

Hey everyone,

I just talked to this Marine that was a member of the old forum before this one. I think it was on Infantrymen.net. That is where I had met him, and we were going to bootcamp on the same date. Well, I was talking to him on AIM, and it turns out that he is in Iraq fighting the war. He is in the front lines, and he told me that he has gotten in about 5 firefights. He said that he's had his share of shooting some insurgents, and that it's hell on earth over there. He then said he had to let me go because he had to go on a patroll or something like that. So he had to get all of his gear ready. I just hope he goes through it all fine and comes back alive. He is a good Marine. Please pray for him.

P.S. his name is Brandon Beard

He is in our prayers.

I haven't heard from him since that last time I talked to him. I sure hope he's doing ok. I hope he comes back home safe and sound.
