Had a chance to talk to him on Facebook for about 2 minutes. He can only type one handed but just knowing it was really him on the other end meant all the world.

And just like Striker, first thing he says to me, "I won't be flying with you guys for a while", LOL. He still has a long road to recovery but it really made my day to talk to him. I didn't talk to him as long as I wanted cause he gets tired and winded a bit after a short time. It sure was the same Striker that I remembered and it was a heart felt conversation...

Again thanks to everyone for all the prayers and his family is going to get a laptop to him with in the next couple weeks or so. I'll try to keep you updated until he's in here posting himself...

Thanks for the updates Bow and Rhino. I hope he gets a chance to read all the comments posted here and on his Facebook page soon, and even though they may be numbered, I'm sure most friends are like myself and check-in daily for any news posted by Alisha. He's never more than a quick thought away and I hope he gets to read about our support first hand soon enough.

Striker, we'll be here for you anytime and anyway you need us. We know the road ahead might be long and daunting, but know that we'll stand by you. Keep your spirits high and man is it ever good to hear that you're still the same ol' guy who personified the #ގ.

~S!

Everyone,

Thank you so much for your amazing support! I'm doing well here and getting better each day. I'm so very thankful to have all of you in the community supporting me. I'm now online here with my iPad and look forward to seeing you on here.

Great to hear from you Bud! I know you have a tough road ahead - stay in touch when you can. Krista sends her love as well.

Hey m8, great to see you back on the forum! You had us worried Sh****ss!

I was watching an episode of the "Daily Show" last night and they had a guy on who has written a book about the development of the Osprey and he mentioned your crash. Looks like an interesting book though.

Anyway, get better and keep us up to date with how you are going? Take it easy and let nature do the healing. We are all here for you.

Mike

Oh my God, Striker, you're back! I was so shocked when I heard the news...I just could not believe it! I'm so relieved to hear that you're ok. I hope you're not thinking of going back! I hope you'll manage to recover from this horrible experience, I know it will be like a scar on your life but do your best!

The Virtual Horsemen salute you!

Thanks Skyhawk and everyone else again. I have a long road ahead of me and I'm focusing on just getting better right now although I still do want to get back in the fight with my brothers wherever they might be. I guess that's just how we all are in the spec ops world, and yes LD...I'm so rocking this 64GB 3G iPad!
