today is my birthday, but remember this man instead...

 Today is my birthday. I am a Gulf War veteran. But don't think of me today.

 

On my birthday, October 28th, 2006, while I was having a good time, US Army Staff Seargent Kyu H. Chay gave his life for all of us in Afghanistan while operating with the Green Berets. Today he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery...

Please remember SSGT Chay by vowing to send a care package to our men and women overseas. Having been there I can tell you they greatly appreciate it.

 

God Bless, friends.

Ripcord I always remember the ones that have and are serving. Thanks for posting this. I actually know the story behind his death.

That's a great suggestion; I'll do it.

I have a question (not a smart allelic one). I knew (vaguely) about the conversion to beret head gear. Why is his red? (Green Berets)

oldfirehorse... He was an Arabic linguist but I don't think he was a GB.

rip... Thank you for your service. Our church gets together and sends care packages over 3-4 times a year. I pledge to ask my congressman and senators to demand our community activist of a president to quit talking about talking about doing something in Afghanistan and actually do something. He's had 10 months to makeup his mind. Obviously he has been to busy playing golf(24 times) going to campaign functions(22 times) taking a 2 week vacation to consider the fate of our men and women in the middle east.

Sending prayers for you and for this man's loved ones and comrades.

My nephew is headed to Afganistan next month.

God bless.
