I just got a phone call from my Aunt Cathy telling me that my cousin Joey was injured in Iraq...he's a coastie that does search and rescue and he got hit by a sniper........that's all I know.....we know he's aliive and bieng evacted to Germany...

That sucks Reesh. I wish him my best.

[BoondockSaint]

Sorry to hear that Reesh.  I hope he's ok.

[reeshy]

I have no idea about his condition...my aunt just has the call that they evaced him this morning!!!

[Bulldogcakes]

Send him our best wishes, Reesh.

[TheMojoPin]

I hope he's OK, reesh.

[reeshy]

<p>I am keeping him in my prayers, Reesh....&nbsp; at least he is on his way to Germany, out of there for the moment.&nbsp; Best wishes for a speedy recovery and hopefully he will be able to come home soon.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

[DJEvelEd]

I hope he's allright.&nbsp;At least&nbsp;he's going to Germany. He will get the best care there. I almost had my surgery there. Hopefully he'll be healthy &amp;&nbsp;home soon.

[reeshy]

The funny thing is...he's coming home and I may be going there!!

[reeshy]

I just got off the phone with my aunt....she's blaming me for Joey joining the Guard....and then hangs up....crap...I can;t win!!!

[Fez4PrezN2008]

<p>Hey Reesh, if he's half as tough as you are I know he'll be fine, but still really do hope he is going to be alright. </p>

[Kevin]

Reesh even though i am 100% against the war, i do not blame the troops. They have no choice but to do what they are told. I hope and pray he is OK.

[Don Stugots]

[reeshy]

You know what scares me the most??&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I don't know if I can do this shit anymore!!!

<p>ressh, hope everything turns out for the best</p><p>i work for a news corp&nbsp; and about 17 years ago i heard a cousin of mine went down in a helicopter off maryland but&nbsp;his status&nbsp;wasn't confirmed. i called into work to have my co-worker check the current news on the database. it wasn't&nbsp; long before he read my cousin's name as one of the&nbsp;occupants who didn't make it.</p><p>his name was norman and he would come up north and we would go see a yankee game with our dad's and grandfather. he left a wife and two infants, very sad!</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
