This is to Lindsey. A FOB (forward operational base) in Kandahar, Afghanistan adopted Lindsey. She was the one who would listen to each and every troop that was stationed at the base. She looked up with those big brown eyes and touched the heart and soul of our troops. She followed, she sat, she ate and she loved. Just as our troops needed someone, she needed them. The bond between them grew and the love exchanged was free. She looked forward to seeing them coming back and they looked forward to her being there. A constant in their ever changing life. I guess you could say that Lindsey was their home. Looking at your loved one. The spark that said "I love you". Well Lindsey is gone. Not forgotten. Unfortunately, the troops have to look at each other and, well, you cannot scratch your sargent behind the ears, but if your are quick you can rub his belly. Woof, woof, woof for Lindsey.
