2 Years Ago Today

Today  marks the 2 year anniversary of  the Death of Ricks
Best Friend SSG William Hasenflu. He was  KIA in Afghanistan.
It has been a tough road, but its been an eye opener.Every Military Wife 
and Family Member knows the possibility of what can happen but you never 
want it to be you. September has been difficult.  Our 2nd deployment
we lost SGT David Weir,and the 3rd we lost Flu.

I remember it very clearly too.. People try and block it out but it is difficult when
its so close to family.   I remember getting called by another wife asking if I had 
heard anything because we just came out of a black out. I didn't hear anything 
but we had a death. I was waiting to hear  from Rick. When I was talking to the 
other wife Rick called and the first words out of my mouth is "Who was it? "
I knew if anyone would know it would be Rick.He said "Flu" I about fell.. I started 
crying and didnt want to believe it.. It was difficult at first but taking to Rick
made me feel better. I knew that Rick was safe but felt so miserable 
because of the simple fact it was so close to home and family..   
My first reaction when I got off the phone with Rick was I needed to talk to his 
wife and make sure they was okay.. I didn't care about anything else at that point.

People take for granite everyday life and think that nothing bad is 
ever going to happen to them and they wont loose anyone they care about 
They need to realize that anything could happen at home or deployed. 


REST IN PEACE 
SSG WILLIAM HASENFLU 
SGT DAVID WEIR 

AND ALL THE FALLEN MILITARY MEMBERS 
NEVER FORGOTTEN
