I'm sure you have all been reading about the happenings at FOB Salerno the past few weeks, so I won't go into those.  SSG Jeffries and all the people at FOB Salerno hospital have been very busy, CARING FOR THE BEST.  But he wants everyone to know they are taking care of business, and staying strong.

He sent pictures of the cutest little thing, and wanted to share them with you:

"I have attached some pics of me with the little baby that I was caring for the other night.  She was adorable and just loved me. [don't we all]  She would smile and laugh at me and I held her most of the night.  I worked over 20 hours, slept for three, then worked 15 the next day.  I just couldn't let her go.  Finally, the next day we sent them home."

Thank God for Eric Jeffries, and the rest of our warriors.

Haole, Over and Out

Hi !

This blog is under construction and will be updated, as soon as Sgt Jeffries becomes familiar with blogging.     

Feel free to add the 48th CSH to you neighborhood to receive updates from FOB Salerno Hospital, Khowst, Afghanistan; and leave messages/comments of encouragement for Sgt Jeffries, and all the men and women of the 48th Combat Support Hospital.   

I have included the Medic's Prayer, and a contemporary drawing of the Combat Medic's Memorial at Ft. Sam Houston, as part of the test setup.    I am certain this prayer embodies the prayers and thoughts of all military medical corp warriors.    To these men and women we offer our Gratitude and Prayers.

Combat Medic's Prayer

Oh Lord, I ask for the divine strength to meet the demands of my profession.  Help me to be the finest medic, both technically and tactically.   If I am called to the battlefield, give me the courage to conserve our fighting forces by providing medical care to all who are in need.   If I am called to a mission of peace, give me the strength to lead by caring for those who need my assistance.  Finally, Lord, help me to take care of my own spiritual,  physical and emotional needs.  Teach me to trust in your presence and never-failing love.   AMEN
