Next door neighbor seriously injured in Iraq. A petition for good vibes and thoughts

[Maestro]

My next door neighbor just received a phone call from Ft. Campbell. His son, a private in the Army, was on patrol in a Humvee in Iraq, we do not know where, when a roadside bomb shredded the humvee. He has multiple fractures in one leg, a broken arm and a possible broken vertabrae. He is in transition to Germany. Everything is very preliminary, but I knew this kid. He used to mow my lawn when I was sick a few years back. He graduated high school, wandered around unsure about what to do with his life so he decided to enlist. He was a bit naive, but the army I believe taught him respect for himself and others. I spoke to him in February before he shipped out. He sounded like he had really matured. I didn't express my anger to his father when I spoke to him a few minutes ago. It's not appropriate. However, I despise more than ever this administration and what it is doing to our young men and women and all those Iraqis having to live under this insane invasion and occupation! Impeach the fuckers!

His name is Perry. I am sure he would appreciate the good vibes or prayers if you are so inclined.

3. Props to Perry and every other soldier/troop stuck in W's meat-grinder.

Is it okay to express a touch of gratitude that he's at least alive? I mean, after all, 4000+ are not. :grr:

[Maestro]

I told his father that much as well.

[MadMaddie]

For some reason, it has been difficult to find info on him now. The family thinks he is in Germany now, but have no verification although they did say he has had at least one surgery.

[Norwood]

We are hoping for the same.

[Maestro]

40. Thanks 48

I am sure he appreciates it.

[Ellen Forradalom]

24. I have a special fondness for people named Perry.

So he gets all my good vibes.

[Ilsa]

25. Hugs to Perry and his parents. No parent should have to endure this,

but around 37,000 (wounded and KIA) families have. Geez, if each person hurt was loved by about 100 friends and family members, then that is 3.7 million people emotionally torn apart by this clusterf#*k.

[Maestro]

31. Wow. I never looked at it that way.

That is amazing and just shows how we are all affected by this horrible situation. Thanks.

[EFerrari]

26. You got it, Maestro. Good vibes for Perry, his squad and his family.

[Maestro]

45. Amen to that!

Thanks

[sutz12]

30. Best wishes, bro....

Your anger is best kept for the ones who really deserve it, not the injured man's family. Good on that one.

Just one more tragedy from this pseudo-war.

[Maestro]

34. Thanks. I am trying to contain it, but I will never

show the parents.

[bdamomma]

38. oh, jeez, another vibrant young man.

I truly hate this. So sad that this is still continuing with no end in sight, this is a crime against humanity.

My best to Perry and his family.

[Maestro]

46. Yes, I hope there is no permanent physical or emotional damage.

What a waste of human energy!

[fight4my3sons]

43. good healing vibes for Perry!

:hug: May he heal quickly and return home safely.

[leftynyc]

44. Prayers and good thought to Perry and

his family. You were right to keep your anger inside while speaking to his dad. He's probably pretty emotional (and quite possibly angry himself) right now. Hope Perry comes home soon to those who love him.

[LWolf]

47. Done. n/t
