My best friend in the Marines

[Admin]

I just stumbled across this yesterday trying to look up my best friend in the Marines. His name is Bill Rosborough from Moline, IL. He took my under his wing when I got to my permanent duty station. We also did some time together in the Tijuana county jail on a rough weekend in Mexico. He is a top notch Marine, but most importantly he is a great friend who will always have your back no matter what the circumstances are.

He received the Purple heart and a Bronze Star last year while serving in Baghdad. I sent him an email to get the story on this rough day he had in Baghdad.

I'm just happy he made it out alive.

I'm so glad for you that he made it out okay Derek. Any word on whether he'll be coming home?

 

[Admin]

He's already state side.

 

[Lynne]

He's already state side.

Excellent. How's he doing?

 

[Admin]

I'm awaiting a reply from him.

 

[Lynne]

I'm awaiting a reply from him.

Let us know, ok?

 

[Nickle]

And make sure to tell him we wish him well, and send our thanks for his service.

A good natured ribbing about ducking wouldn't hurt, either. Only if there's no permanent damage, of course.

I wish him well. Also thank him from me too.

Any updates?

 

[Admin]

I've gotten a couple of emails from him. He got into a pretty good car accident so he's been recovering from that.

No details on the bomb incident yet.

Like he needed that on top of everything. I wish him well.
