Michael is a sniper in the Army, who was recently nominated for the Bronze Star. It was an honor to meet one of the heroes from our small town. Posted by Picasa

Just for the record, Michael is not your ordinary joe. Snipers are some of the most intensely trained soldiers in the Army- very few people are qualified to do what he does.

Yeah, he's a really special guy. Like I said, it was an honor to meet him!

Just a question; do you guys all have to update to blogrolling gold or whatever to have more than one blogroll? It says I have to pay for more than one... arg.

I think it was an honor for him to meet you, Jen. Look how happy he is in the picture, with his arm around your shoulder.

Next to the pop machine.

That's so exciting Jennifer :)

Jen - that is very exciting!

I also thought you'd be the person to ask to please pray - one of my friends (family friend) is in the army and will most likely be sent off to Iraq soon. He was just married two months ago and she is also in the army.

Also, my best friend from high school is in the Coast Guard Academy! She is loving it! Is your email still the same? I can send you pictures!-

That's cool! :) I met a guy once who had sniper training...I don't think he was a "sniper," though.

*waits for comments blasting Jennifer for supporting evil warmongering baby-killers*

He's a sniper? Cool!
I know quite a few people who are or have been in the military. My uncle is a nurse in the Air Force, My grandfather was in the Navy, and my youthgroup leader is in the reserves and got sent to Iraq last year.

Snipers are some amazing people, but they need lots of support... Good work, Jen.

I know a guy who went all the way through Marine Sniper School.

Just after he finished they changed their minds and reassigned him to Marine Intelligence. Now he's works in cryptogaphy. He's done a tour in Kuwait and is currently on his second one in Iraq.
