Crazy Find
I was browsing through You Tube in search of new Iraq war footage. Not trying to be morbid, I just wanted to see what the new generation of troops are dealing with. I stumbled upon a few military boredom clips which were great for a laugh. I was just about to log off when i stumbled upon a chilling picture of a Marine in my former unit. The title read, Military Miracles, it was a trailer for an upcoming show with the same name. The show is supposed to air its pilot episode on the History Channel sometime this year.
I watched the trailer, and chills literally crawled up my spine. Familiar faces flooded on screen. Friends, officers, reporters, I knew these men, I knew these stories. Things I dreamt while not asleep spilled out of their mouths. Memories flooded my brain, adrenaline rushed my body. I convinced myself these visions and accounts were long gone from my mind. I was wrong.
Even writing this, my brain is on overload. There is a need to see this documentary. In the short clip that was viewed, I saw actual footage of the battle of the Sadam Canal. I knew we had imbedded media with us, but I thought the footage had been destroyed in a 2003 OIF ambush. I’m excited at the news that this footage is still alive and well, and I am on a mission to aquire this documentary in its entirety.
Wow, how crazy is that? The random things you find when your not looking for them.
