They took about 1 oz of shrapnel out of his body. His whole left side is scarred up from all the wounds. I went to visit him in Germany while he was recovering. He was a handsome boy, most of my friends wanted to go out with him. Now I'm not so sure.
Now he's scary looking. Worse than that, he's back in combat and at risk for more injuries or even death. Is that fair? We come from a lower middle class family in a red state. All these people around me say they support our troops, yet other than his immediate family, not one of these people ever send him an e-mail or letter, even though several asked for his address. He'd like some recognition for his sacrifices. He also thinks he's given enough... he says "it's somebody else's turn" but so few are willing to step up, yet they don't want him to get home.
