this first set of pictures is from a 120MM rocket fired into the international green zone. It hit a connex then went through the floor without detonating.

Yours truely! The second pictures is a bullet hole from a sniper that tried to shoot at me on Haifa street when I was recovering our robot. The bastard waited for me to get out of the vehicle to get the robot.

Thanks Diver I appreciate being able to see something besides what the papers and TV choose to show it's so limited and shows a lot of bias. Be careful pard and thank you for what you are doing there that takes a cool hand.

Post often Diver, we rarely get to see much out of Iraq. Congrats on the miss! Whew! Keep it up on those star notes, I've been searching for months with nothing.....
 

Whew! Close call! :o You're a brave man!
As mentioned earlier, we don't get the whole story on the news so thank you for the images.
Thank you for your service Diver. Stay safe and watch your 6!
 

Ditto on the thanks for your service. Keep up the good work and come home safe. And believe me, there are an awful lot of us here that think you guys are doing a great job, and doing what needs to be done.

Great pictures Diver - Thanks for your service and protecting America's interests. Be careful and hurry home!




P.S. My son is in the service and posted some pics of what he saw on MySpace - word got out and he was told to delete/delete/delete, or face punitive action.

First of all the *@*)&%^$'s don't fight fare anyway - They're sneaky little SOB'S. My son-in-law was over there for 2 tours and thank the Lord, he made it home safely. My son is currently in the Air Force stationed in New Mexico. Thank you and all of our soldiers for serving and protecting our country. Stay safe, keep your head down and don't trust any of them.... Hope you all get to come home soon...SALUTE!!! :)
 

I want to start off with a big THANK YOU DW!!!!!! My family has a long history of Servicemen including myself.I'm MiniMe's husband,Son-in-law did two tour's and now our son is in the military.I say my Prayer's everyday for people I don't even know....Every time I spoke to my son-in-law over there I told him not to trust anyone period...that's just the way it is....You know the deal.Again be safe and looking for some good Ole' USA find's from you in the future......Bunch of Friggin' coward's over there.....Thank's again....I feel sorry for my "avatar"....Want the best for him!!!
 

Diver, thanks for your service and being willing to put your life on the line for us back here in the States. I'm a Viet Nam veteran, so I kind of know what you are going thru. Thanks for the pictures. May God Bless and Keep You.
