We lost 8 of our own

Thanks for coming back to visit! If you would like to be a guest blogger at ArmyHousehold6.com - please let Tammy know!
I wanted to post really quick about this weekend’s deadly attack in Afghanistan as I’ve received lots of phone calls, emails and IM’s asking about SGT Daddy.
As you probably have heard, this weekend 8 of our 4th ID , 4th Brigade soldiers gave the ultimate sacrifice in an attack from the Taliban(along with other groups) in Eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan Border.
I do not believe that SGT Daddy was one of the 8 (i would have heard by now), I haven’t heard from him yet either since the attack. In these types of situations, there is usually a communication blackout so that the families of our fallen warriors can be notified. I’m sure that is the reason for not hearing from him.
As the details get released about the 8 soldiers, I will of course update as much as I can. I will make sure to let everyone know if there is anything you can do. Of course, in the meantime, please pray for our soldiers and comfort for their families.
Praying.

Ugh this is so sad. I don’t even know what to say – other than my heart goes out to those families of the fallen soldiers. And I’m praying that you hear from Dan SOON. Don’t forget I’m just a phone calls away if you need anything!

Hope you hear from him soon. I remember when something similar happened to Mr. H’s unit and finally getting that call from him while I was at work. Never heard him so upset in my entire life. {{hugs}}

I didn’t even know they were from 4ID. Since they were family to us until a while ago, our hearts go out to them. Praying for ya’ll & comfort for our fallen’s families.

More and more people die in Afghanistan each day. That is the cost of fight against the global terrorism.
Unfortunately CNN has already leaked the names of the 5 who returned to the states today. There is no official DoD announcement of the 8 yet though.
My heart is so incredibly heavy for the Ft Carson “family!”
I can tell you that 7 of the 8 families were notified as of this weekend. I know the soldier that was part of the Casualty Notification Team here at Fort Carson. I’m pretty sure all 8 have received notification as of now.
