A day in the life of an American Soldier. The personal passages of everything from family life to war.

9pds 3oz’s of miracle


American Soldier says,

Our newest addition to our family was born late last night. There are many reasons to call this baby a miracle. From almost giving my all in Iraq to watching as my new daughter took her first breath, I am a changed man forever. Something changed with her arrival. I can’t put my finger on it, but I can feel it.

    That is very good news, and I am glad to read about the new addition to the AS household. Things like the birth of a new child really does bring about changes in a household, as seeing new life is so special.

    All the best to you and the Mrs. Having a kid and watching that baby grow is both the biggest responsibility and the biggest rewards that one can have. Watching as the little one grow and mature and learn. Treasure those times. They are very special.

    Now as to cigars…….

    I hope whoever said that a dead american solider is a good thing burns in hell. I, also, hope that someone like that does not live in America protected by American soldiers. If he does he should be deported.
