Live a Life Worthy of Their Sacrifice

Many thanks to Curtis for his most recent updates and great pictures. He also sent me this picture that very makes a simple, but very important point. Remember our fallen heroes (and those who are risking their lives each day) and live a life worthy of their sacrifice.

Please keep Curtis, Melissa, and Bailey in your thoughts and prayers.

Curtis-may God bless you and keep you safe.

Sincerely,

Charlie

one more stop

Made it to our next stop. This is ABF1 Encinas. He was getting ready to go to a different base to be a support element but at the last minute decided to keep him.

Well here is some of the crew. Just happy that we are in country and getting ready to get to FOB Farah. It has been a long trip. Still have one more journey to take before our final destination.

Well here we are back at the airport awaiting to bet on out flight to the next destination

Here is the c130 the flew us into Afghanstan. Still have one more spot to go before hitting out final destination. You see HM1 Julien getting ready for the flight.

Well here is us checking in to the area and getting a place to sleep for he night, or as it turns out a couple of night here. The mountains were beautiful so it was worth it.

This was a church that the Air Force had built. I like how thay had there symbol on the side. It was made out of wood and as you can see it was quite large.

This is just a sign that I took a pictue of. Of course look is what in the sketch.

Next Stop

Will our next stop took us in to Manas Air Force Base, Kygerkistan (I know I spelled it wrong, Sorry) Very small and secluded. Look at the mountains in the back ground.

Beautiful country.

Here everyone is getting off of the plane. This is not our final stop, but we are here for a couple of days.

On our way

Well I got the pictures reversed. This was us flying into Shannon Ireland, we has about a 2 hr lay over here. Everyone was excited because we had a chance to get off of the plane after 6 - 7 hrs of flying. The people are nice and friendly. They where willing to help you if needed, like sending post cards and getting stamps.

at the airport

The back entrance to Indianapolis Airport. It is was an early morning for everyone. Just tired and wanting to get on the plane.

We are on our way.

Here we are loadingthe busy getting ready for a 3-4 hour stay at the airport. There is where we get the plane ready and staged with all of our gear.
