Brother in Iraq with Bagpipes

**SingleBarrelBourbon** · 26th December 08, 05:20 PM

Rachel,

Please let him know that he and his brother soldiers in Iraq are in my prayers every evening.

God Bless those who put their lives on the line for our freedoms.

All these images are absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing them, and please tell your brother I love his style.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's good that he's able to take the pipes with him.

I like that bag cover! Here's one of me playing on the Ziggurat of Ur.

Nothing special going on - 6 of us went out for a tour and I brought the pipes. Figured it would be a once in a lifetime chance. How often does one get to pipe atop the remains of a 5000 year old temple?

Rachel, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. What a nice thing you have done for your brother. Please let him know that we support him while he is in harm's way for us, and thank him for his service. Also, thanks to you and the rest of his family for your sacrifice in giving him to us for this time.

Good Luck and may he be home soon!

Just to show that it has been done.

This is Mike, SE of Baghdad two years ago.

Rachel, let us know when he is scheduled to get back and we'll have a kilt night here in Colorado Springs. I know we can get a few down from Denver along with Birddog and myself to welcome him back properly.

I think some might miss understand my reason to post. Not to be the first, just proud. However he will be the first to wear honest 79th New York uniforms/gear in a combat zone since the early 1860s.

I sincerely apologize if my posts came across as "I did it first". My intent was to support and honor those who serve.

I know you are proud of your brother and we here thank him for his service and thank you for supporting him in such a way.

I was simply trying to offer my help if you needed more fabric, and to show that others have worn the Kilt and carried their pipes in this conflict.
