My nephew is branded a hero!!!!!

**patrick39** · 06-08-2005 08:45 PM

My Newphew (Aaron Vance) is in the field as I type this letter of grattitude for him and all the armed forces in Iraq. I am very proud of his accomplishments and am posting a link to an article written on June 2nd that describes his act of heroism as he was the only one called from his unit to climb down a hole one and a half feet wide to inspect and hand out a hord of weapons and triggering devices found under the floor of a home in mosul.

Hope you enjoy the read. http://rochsent.com/files/wilsoniraq8.html

God Speed to your nephew and please thank him for his courage and efforts......

**Sporter** · 06-08-2005 09:05 PM

May he be in the safety and comfort of God!

**Dinaress** · 06-08-2005 09:51 PM

That took some guts! Tell him we all think he is a hero! Bring him with you when you come to the BBQ and Dinaress will see to it he gets carte blanche!

**Paulette** · 06-08-2005 10:37 PM

Tell him we are proud of our service men and women over there. Thank him for having the courage to face the danger he had to face.

**Tinydancer** · 06-08-2005 10:42 PM

Thank you for sharing your proud news. Makes me feel proud too. God bless him and keep him safe.

**MunnyBaggs** · 06-08-2005 11:11 PM

Thank him for everyone here. He is a hero no doubt about it.

I spent time at Diamondback and Marez last year when i was providing convoy security for the Army. Mosul is a tough place. I wish nothing but the best for your nephew and everyone else still there. God Bless everyone of them.

GOD BLESS Aaron Vance. Tell him how proud of him we all are and how much
we appreciate his courage and valor. It's because of brave young men like him
that the Iraqis WILL live in FREEDOM!

**Goalie Interference** · 06-09-2005 09:13 PM

Tell your nephew there's at least one Marine in the world that salutes him. He should get a smile from that. And make sure he lets Sgt. Chandler know we appreciate the grit he displays as well. The mark of a true leader is one who will get right in the middle, and stay until the job is done.
