A roadside bomb hit a US Army patrol west of Baghdad, killing one soldier and wounding another.

The explosion occurred while the soldiers were taking part in a combat logistics patrol on a road between the cities of Fallujah and Ramadi, about 45 miles west of the Iraqi capital, the military said in a statement.

The names of the soldiers were withheld pending notification of their relatives.

5. Thanks Honey

Be here for Peyton too. Here she is with her best friends. From the left Madison, Sarah and The Divine Miss P. She is worried because (according to her) I am crying too much and if I get any skinnier I might turn into a bone! LOL! :loveya:

6. I know it sounds like a cliche but you must stay strong for her

I still remember as a child when my mum was scared - it was a very unsettling feeling. I'm not talking about hiding emotions, just being strong and holding things together. And stick with us for support!

7. You Are So Right

She loves shopping for Ben's goodie boxes and color him pictures. Then we are doing the "hard work" of keeping him in our hearts.

10. got another suggestion Binka

postcards - lots of 'em - get you some books of 23 cent stamps and hit the book stores like Barnes & Noble and Borders for some truly goofy postcards - and don't forget some from your state - they love a touch from home - send these postcards constantly! They get regular mail much more often than packages and mailcall is the highlight of their day. And he'll have all his postcards on a wall nearby!

11. Skittles I Have My Friend Mail EVERYTHING From NAS Sigonella

We live in Sicily and my friend mails all packages and mail for free from the base since Ben is at an FPO address. But I will get some Sicilian postcards and send them too. Thank you for your support and good kind words.

9. Could These Faces Of The Future Be Any More Beautiful?

This is why I get up every day and thank The Big Ne Ne in the sky for another day/chance.
