Two weeks ago my oldest daughter and I were in a serious head on collision.  My daughter only suffer minor facial injuries that required a few stitches (Thank you god).  Me on the other hand, I had shattered just about every major bone in my left foot.  I am relegated to crutches for the next few months and don't know when I will be back to duty.  The accident happen less than 3 minutes from house as I was on my way to speak to a group OK middle school kids on career day.  The driver that hit me was uninsured and had crossed the double yellow line on a two lane rode for no reason at all.  As I was laying up in the hospital (more about that experience later) I was reminded by an individual who had called me to wish me well,  that I survived 9-11 (Working at the Pentagon) and two tours to Middle East to include Iraq and Saudi Arabia and come back home to get hit by a negligent driver (talk about bringing the troops home huh) Well my hero General Patton survive both World Wars and died in a hospital due to a automobile accident in Germany.  I am no Patton, but the irony does intrigue me.

Thank You to many people who sent me cards and balloons.  Now that I will be home for a few months I guess I can blog more.  

Ol' Sarge may be down but he is not out
