Doorbells?

So I fear my doorbell... yes that is right I fear the sound of my doorbell. Tonight we were told we lost an Eagle Sergeant Vincent L. C. Owens, 21. He was a motor transport operator assigned to Forward Support Company, 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team. I would have never seen this but I have Fort Campbell, KY on my facebook page and as I logged in I saw that he was killed Monday. You know it is going to happen but you always just pray it doesn't. I do not know him personally, be he is still a part of our army family and it breaks my heart to see someone give the ultimate sacrifice. Tonight I will be short and to the point. I miss my husband and I just want him home... Seeing stuff like this makes me so sad. I love you Jeremy! And for the young wife and family of SGT Owens all I can say is thank you and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Bookmarked <3 1 month 7 days
