Hey Guys, Just wanted to say HI! I served at Margah as well from 08-09 with the 101. The tower in the first picture was the one I resided in. Hope all is well, and you are dodging the rockets from Bushmills and such.

SUUUP im SPC. Sanders I served with jesse and chris on Margah in 08-09 also. That place you are at is sacred but you know that. We held our own on various hard attacks on that place, and we lost a good man and had other good men wounded there. We fought hard and its been 2 years and as I can see we still look up that place on the internet even after the past. We will never forget what happend there for those months and the blood sweat and tears that were shed. I pray for your Unit and others that are on that God forsaken hell hole. Much love my brothers. Love ya BABIMILK
