SSG Benjamin Joy B Co. 113th Eng. Bn. FOB Merez, Iraq "SAPPERS LEAD THE WAY" From Iraq - Irishmaam - 05-16-2005 Pleased to meet you. Stay safe over there. I hope all the troops know they have support from the homefront. How did you ever find this place? I am glad you did Take care Cindy From Iraq - Walt's Daughter - 05-16-2005 Ben, wow, what a nice, nice surprise to hear from you. I am so glad to hear that you are well and safe. Yes you are in my prayers all the time and will be one of one's who are jumping up and down when you return safely home to Lynette and your children.
I am also glad that you took a few minutes of your time to let us know just what it is you do. Me of course, I find that fascinating being an engineer's daughter.
It is a relief to hear that your buddy is recovering and will be fine. Thank God for that.
We'd love to hear from you again in the future if you have a few spare moments. It's great to hear the facts from someone who is actually there and not a news correspondent with an agenda. Would love to also hear what you think about the people that live there and how you think the nation as a whole is shaping up.
God bless you Ben. Marion
PS Cindy - Ben is the grandson of one of the men in my dad's unit. Here is the photo that of Ben's grandfather Ernest and my dad in Germany in May of 1945. From Iraq - Walt's Daughter - 05-16-2005 Here is another great photo of Ben's grandfather and a couple of buddies from the 540th. According to Willie Joy (Ben's uncle), they were feeling no pain that day. You can see and read more about one of the guys pictured in this photo below:
