A friend in need.

So I got an e-mail today from a good friend of mine Nick (I'm sure most of my other friends got the same e-mail). Nick joined the army over a year ago, and was consequently shipped out to Iraq as a medic. I've written him a couple of times but never actually gotten a response back, so I was hoping for some good news when I opened the e-mail. Unfortunatly that isn't the case. Seems Nick is having a pretty hard time over there in addition to dealing with some pretty heavy emotional issues.

I really feel for Nick, it has got to be hard enough to be half a world away from everyone he knows and loves, but its got to be even worse to pile on a load of depression. My feelings and prayers go out to him, and I hope he's able to work through all this stuff going on over there, as well as in his own life. I know I'm not alone in these feelings either, and I'd like to get together with everyone to send him a care package of some sort, though to be truthful, I'm not exactly sure how that would work with going to Iraq and all. Still I'd like to give it a shot, so anyone interested in lending a hand, or wanting to send something over give me a shout.
