Hello everyone, we truly appreciate all of your support. we love receiving emails, so feel free to leave us some at shellbell519@yahoo.com. steve is doing wonderful. i know some of you were wondering what his injuries were. he received multiple shrapnel wounds to his stomach. leaving his tummy open for the last two months. he recently had his tummy closed and we are hoping for no infection. he had a serious nerve damage to his right leg, we are awaiting an appt with a specialist regarding this, along with a broken tibia on the same leg, he is finally out of bed and walking with a walker, he also received a deep shrapnel wound to his right shoulder, which is closing up nicely, although he has signifigant damage, we are also awaiting more test on that. we are hoping to be home with our loved ones on a thirty day leave with in the month. so thank all of you once again!! love Steve and Shelly Marfill

Steve, the soldier that CJ so eloquently wrote about, is but one of many soldiers, marines, airmen and sailors wounded in courageously defending all of us back home. There are many other soldiers (and families) with similar stories recovering at Walter Reed, Bethesda, Brooke, VA Hospitals all over the US, and others military hospitals. And not only are our brave troops inflicted with serious physical injuries, but statistics show that about 30% also suffer from PTSD, a much less visible wound, but very painful nonetheless.

Steve and Shelly,

You may not think so, but you are a true American Hero. Is there a way to send e-mails to you and or address. I’d like to help others also.

CJ thanks so much for the wonderful post. You have such a big heart for your fellow soldiers. This brought tears to my eyes, and yes where are the Commanders, etc. They should have already visited this HERO…

I will be attending the milblogging convention. I look forward to meeting you.
