I got to talk to my fiance for a little bit this morning (he's deployed overseas) and I can't stop shaking.... Last night, while he was on duty (he does convoy security), they were escorting a bus back to base and while on the highway an unidentified SUV stopped in the middle of the road and the men approached his vehicle and the bus they were escorting. They were trying to get on the bus and when that attempt failed (due to another guy standing at the door pointing his weapon at him) they chased them down the road yelling at them the whole way before giving up!
This is the first (that I've heard) of anything like this happening to Tim and the men he is with over there. I am so scared and the reality just hit me of where he is. Let me clarify that.... I've known since he left in November where he was going but for the most part he's been relatively safe given the circumstances. Now that this happen I feel all panicky and there is nothing I can do about it. I know that he is going to come home safe but if something were to happen to him I'd be lost forever.
If you could please take a moment out of your day to say a quick pray for Tim and all of our troops who are risking everything to keep us safe. Only 3.5 months until he's home safely!
God Bless Our Troops
