being a member of a local "you are not alone group' for helping our soldiers, i just received this email and wanted to forward same, so perhaps some of you may want to help our troops in Afghanistan: 

so some of you may heard on the news this past weekend that 8 ppl from ft Carson died in Afghan. Tim is attached to that unit and since the attack they have moved alot of ppl around. where he is now he sleeps on a cot and they don't have anything like they had before so he is in need of some items.  if you can help with any of this it would be great and you can give it to me so I can send it out or if you want to send it just let me know what you got so i can take it off the list. below is the story of what happend last weekend. i have talked to tim since the attack and he is doing alright. please send to anyone else in the family that you may think will be willing to help out.

HERE IS THE STORY

FORT CARSON , Colo. - The Pentagon announcement Wednesday confirmed their worst fears — the eight American soldiers killed in a bloody weekend attack in Afghanistan were all from a single Fort Carson unit. But commanders here insisted that unit's morale is rebounding.

"They were attacked, the unit fought bravely, and in the end, they won the day," said Maj. Daniel Chandler, the rear detachment commander for the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. "The brave soldiers that we lost and all of the comrades that were left there, there were a lot of heroes on that day," he said.
