Destined Co. 2-503rd of the 173rd abn getting the job done.




I was able to pick up the above photos from a support website I belong to. To my surprise one of the pictures (second one down) are of two NCO's (SFC Levy and SFC Horval Reup at the Fortress) that my son looks up too as mentors. The other photo is of my sons mortar crew preparing to fire their gun tube in support of combat operations. Alex is the one leaning forward (Facing out of the pit) in the mortar pit sighting the tube.

The website contained over 45 photos and in looking at them it is hard to believe there is so much death in such a beautiful country. My son Alex is about ten miles from the Pakistani border. I still haven't heard from him yet but I am sure I will real soon.
