SAN ANTONIO -- An Army officer's wife could hear gunfire in the background when her husband telephoned her last week from Iraq.

But Sgt. 1st Class Michael Battles Sr. assured wife Luz that everything was fine and he just wanted to talk a little longer.

The soldier, who had telephoned to Fort Hood to tell his wife he had just mailed a birthday present to son Michael, did not call again the next morning.

Luz Battles kept waiting for the 9 a.m. call that never came and realized something was wrong.

When military officials arrived at her home early the next day, she knew that Battles was dead.

The Department of Defense said Battles, 38, was killed Oct. 28 when a bomb was hurled at his vehicle by a passing motorcycle rider near his Baghdad checkpoint. He was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 21st Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood.

God Bless their families, God rest their souls.

Psalm 23:4 - Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. (NIV)

No offense to anyone who is not Christian or whatever.

I think regardless of your affiliations or your views on the conflict, that there is no denying the respect one must have for another human being who is willing to sacrifice their life, if need be, to protect that of another, many of whom are not deserving of it.

A sincere thanks to all the men and woman who continue to make good on their oath to this COUNTRY, not its opposing viewpoints, and my deepest condolences to the families of those who have fallen doing so.

This for the family of Braun Shields Pvc 101st Airborne. My neighbor. I use to buy him ice cream off the truck and watch his little butt run home. Last week I went to his funeral.


All my love
