Saluting one of our own

by VanRam on Nov 11, 2009 11:09 AM CST Comment 19 comments

Some of our regulars here may be aware that TST's very own 3k is in the Army. And if you didn't know, now you do. Well, 3k is at some point soon, if he hasn't already, shipping off to one of the two major theaters of operations in the Middle East (I'm not sure about regulations for saying which one, so I'll skirt that issue). Regardless of where he'll be for the next year or so, I ask you to join me in extending 3k a heartfelt thanks, best wishes and a get your ass home safe.

We're lucky as hell to have 3k involved and contributing here at TST. He knows his stuff and has a real passion for the Rams and football in general, even for a guy from Texas with roots in Louisiana. Our community wouldn't be where it is today without him. He has assured me that he'll still be around during his overseas tour, and should be back in time to see a much better Rams team in 2010.

Thanks again 3k, take care of yourself and Godspeed.

(Note from 3k: Thanks for the love from everybody. I should be around the States for a little while before heading out; I just moved my wife and daughter to their home for the next year or so until I get back. I'm hoping I'll be able to continue to get to TST in my free time and continue to add to the best Web site (AP style...) for fans of the Rams and, by extension, the best network of sites for fans of the sporting world. So to everyone, readers, commenters, posters, well-wishers, haters, kids, fogies, and everyone in between, GO RAMS!!!)

Thanks 3k and all servicemen on TST

You did/do what I’m too much of a wuss to do. You sacrifices haven’t gone unnoticed and are sincerely appreciated. Thank you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

May god be with you my friend, and like Van said… GET HOME SAFE. With that said, Van is right when he says you bring a lot to our community. Quite frankly, I feel fortunate to have found this place earlier this pre-season.

My only regret is not being here when we were winning.

Take care 3k… we’re all here for you brother!

3K

Since everyone has already said goodluck, just remember TST isn’t going anywhere, so make sure you come back to that beautiful baby girl of yours. Keep things in perspective, and stay up brotha!
Even though we have never met, I’ll catch you on the flipside!
PEACE!

I cannot thank you enough for your sacrifice...

…it’s courageous military men and women like you that keep our country safe and secure. Peace is only possible through strength. May God bless and protect you while you’re in harm’s way.
