just thought i let the community know that today is a sad day for some of us players. Me and GunSlinger learned some bad news a few hours ago. i was just reading thru the news. alot of people think they have lost a lot but the Velez family has just about everyone beat. a brief run down is simple, Jose Velez was a friend, warrior, husband, Son and a Brother. he was killed in action with our unit while we where in iraq. the news is the links below......my prayers are with the Velez family.....

wow man, thats all i gotta say. no matter how bad I felt and how much pain there was to lose Vdogg, I cannot come close to imagining how his parents must be feeling, AGAIN. something needs to be done to show how fucking grateful we are to those two that have sacrificed millions of times more than you or I have.

Damn... good luck to all who must be going through a very, very rough time right now.
