... I've been reading a blog called "Live in This Girl's Army," which has the postings of a young woman over in the sandbox. Its one of the many "milbloggers" I read, and she's sort of funny and quirky. Well, sonofabitch if I didn't log on today to see two new posts since the last time I read: sgtlizzie.blogspot.com/ First, from her mom: "Liz was on a convoy early this morning when her LMTV was hit by an IED. If you are watcing CNN or reading other news hers is the one near Bouquaba. Liz has injuries to her face she lost two teeth she has laceration to her legs and her ankle is hurt enough she can't walk on it right now but should be fine soon. Please keep her in you thoughts and prayers and remember also the family of the other soldier. (read the news)" Followed shortly afterward by one from Liz herself: "As you have already heard, I got my happy ass blown up. when my wrist allows me to type again I will tell the full story. BUT I wanted you all to know that I all right. I sustained some damage but all physical damage is fixable. Just pray, wish luck, whatever your faith, send good thoughts to the others involved. I will be home soon enough. Thank you for the support:)" Another soldier was killed in this attack. I'm sending my prayers out to this young woman, her family, and the family of the other person killed in the attack, and would ask that others do the same. EDITED TO ADD: Photos of Sgt. Lizzie: From around Thanksgiving... {graphic} Shortly after she was extricated from the vehicle... {sorta graphic} After they stitched her up... Recovering in the ward |
Done.
Hot damn, she's already back and ready to redeploy!
