| To all that dont know the full story on this so called heroic guy, we here at camp eggers went thru the same bombing and more since then. according to the Bureau County Journal ( Carlson County Journal we call it here ) It states the car was under his tower and detonated and he was blown out of the tower. Wow wish i saw that cause the tower was no where near the car nor could it had pulled under it and carlson was sitting in a chair in the tower. The tower still stands today and is being used with no damages i may add because the real soldiers that bear truth faith and honor are still here. Carlson fell out of his chair on the floor! Wow and thats a hero. We fall out of bed but do we get awarded and claim head trauma. The real soldiers were Spc. Simone Robinson that died on March 1st 2009 who was in the bombing pinned between a truck and Sgt Robinson who was by the bomb and was found dead on top of a heso barrier. Where's the Honor on Carlson's part for falling out of the chair. Maybe he should talk to the families of the soldiers we picked up and now are no longer with their families because they are the ones to be Honored along with the truth of the people here that arent scared making stories up just to go home! Way to go Carlson! WELCOME HOME HERO! WOO HOO. Thats all you will get from them back home but not from us here |
