Real World News that relates to the HRLD
Hey all -
Hate to spring this on everyone, but this is one of the coolest things to happen around here in a long time.
Check out this picture of the recently escaped hostage, Thomas Hamill.
The soldier on the RIGHT is my wife's cousin, SPC Jimmy Diederich. Pretty damned cool. I just watched his mother and girlfriend do an interview on WRGB (local CBS station, historical note of being the first TV station ever).
The story can be found on:

Sweet!!! See if you can get him to send me his M4a1 :-P lol j/k.
All the best to your cousin-in-law while he's over there. Kaine.
Im Glad to see he escaped, i was banned from Arcona's IRC channel fo 10 days because i made comment about when he was captured.
I was really upset to see one of our civilians in the hands of the Terrorist, since 9\11 the whole world withness what these terrorist are willing to do to cause harm to democrasy in all of its forms, its good to see how a civilian escaped on his own...........i bet Hollywood will be knocking his door soon.
All the best to him and every one who's currently in Iraq or other countries fighting for freedom we take for granted. It is also nice to see the grit and determination that "ordianry" people can show when faced with adversity.
