Every now and again I see the faces of the dead Marines bodies I had to process. It was rather creepy because we couldn't get their eyes to shut, so they were always looking at me with this wierd look on their faces.
It happens when I'm awake, or asleep. I'll see something and it'll remind of being over there and I go through the whole trip in a matter of seconds.
I tried to keep impersonal, but that gets tough when you have to go through everything in the guys wallet and see pictures of him with his family and everything.
But, oh well...Like Vonnegut always said, "So it goes."

thank god i never had to see any of the faces of our men, just iraqis. but a lot of times i have nightmares about what *could* have went wrong, with the nightmares being real like, or wierd, but with places i was at. just terrible dreams i cant really explain. sounds dumb, but you think about wierd s*** i guess.

I was glad I didn't.

I got more but, I'm not Matt. LOL
As always Matthew, great pics and also a great way to tell a story without getting too much into the war everyone loves to hate. My brother was in the Army during the first Gulf War and he's a disabled vet because of it. He thinks the same as you do even with what he's been though. It's easier for people to say "bring our troops home so they dont get hurt or killed". Look at him, he was hurt and can't work for the rest of his life. But would he fight again if given the chance, hell yeah. I think most of us that got out from the military wanted to go back in after 9/11. But now that people are dying, everyone wants to take back what they said about kicking ass and taking names. The public hates to see blood shed, but they want justice, not just for us but for other peoples as well. Again, as we all know - freedom isnt free. You guys are doing a helluva great job over there. Thanks again for the pics Matthew and glad your safe man.

Hey thanks for the pics, my bro is in 4th ID and i worry about him a lot. His taskforce was the one that caught saddam. Thankyou for all you do for our country, words can hardly describe the graditude we owe our armed services. My father gave 23 years to the air force and now my brother is serving for the army. I will support ANY action by the united states and the soldiers that protect our great nation.
