Homestead Survival

[Maggot]

Here is a soldier in Iraq, stationed in a big sand box. He asked his wife to send him dirt ( U.S. soil), fertilizer, and some grass seed so that he can have the sweet aroma, and feel the grass grow beneath his feet.
When the men of the squadron have a mission that they are going on, they take turns walking through the grass and the American soil — to bring them luck of safety. Of all the things he could have asked his wife to send to him from home he asked for American soil. So amazing.

I'd rather be sleeping or flipping through a Nuts magazine. Good on him though.

Re: Homestead Survival

While its a feel good story and everything.

It's been atleast over 1 year since I first saw it on the internet... So that makes it from around 2007 (cause I'm always behind the times!)

But I take it for what it is... and it's always good to have a lil piece of home with you!
