Where have I been wrong, specifically?
Here is an email from a buddy of mine who volunteered to go back for a second tour...

Thought you'd all want to have first hand info of the historical event taking place today. I'm assuming the only thing you'll see tonight on the news tonight will be the blood, gore, doom & gloom. But I'll share with you that it was very uplifting to watch elderly men and women, hunched over, walking with canes, barefooted, coming out to vote for the first time EVER. It leads me to ask myself, "just how many of us would show up at the polling site in OUR neighborhoods, which had been taking incoming mortar rounds all morning?"

Hope everyone is well! I'm doing great, despite my current grid coordinate...

Love you all & Semper Fi...
