The post is dated December 21st so he should be in Germany by now. Keep him in you prayers.
Linked ya. Blackfive says J.R.’s at Walter Reed now. Now’d be a great time for a Valour IT plug.
Curt,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. God bless him. What a strong individual!
Left him a comment, btw, in his subsequent post from Walter Reed.
