Introduction:
I have just been informed that My good friend's son, of the 173rd airborne, was in a NATO convoy in Jalalabad, Afghanistan when a suicide bomber with a vehicle full of explosives hit her son's humvee on 05-30-08. He is in the military burn unit in San Antonio, TX fighting for his life. Two of his comrads were killed. His name is Kevin. He has severe head injuries and 2nd and 3rd degress burns on much of his body. Please say a prayer for this soldier!!! 06-10-08 UPDATE: Kevin has slipped into a coma and has a respiratory infection and spinal fluid infection and they removed fungal rot from his arm and hand. Please continue to pray for him and his family! 06-12-08 UPDATE: Some good news...97% of Kevin's skin grafts took. But he has developed a blood infection so please continue to keep him in your prayers! 06-14-08 UPDATE: Please go to kdka.com and look for the video titled Clarion Co.Soldier fighting for his life in the video library.

About Me:
I live in Johnstown, PA home to the "Thunder in the Valley" and known for all the Johnstown Floods. I am single (divorced) and have a daughter and two sons whom are the love of my life. I am outgoing, optimistic and I can get along with almost anyone. I always live life to the fullest because life is to short to waste any time not enjoying it! I am a huge fan of Football (Go Steelers!) and Hockey (Yeah...Pens!). I love going to concerts, amusement parks and traveling. I love trying new things and I am up for any new adventures!!! The worst thing anyone can tell me is that I can't do something for I will go out and prove them wrong!!! I love the beach, the outdoors, jumping on a bike and just riding to where ever the bike can take me. I do work out as often as I can. I work hard and I enjoy what I do but when work is done I choose to unwind doing the things I enjoy the most! If you are requesting to be my friend keep in mind that I will not accept anyone who's profile is offensive or vulgar. I will also not accept anyone who is into any illegal activities, drugs, or any other questionable activities. Keep in mind also that once I have accepted you as my friend, if you don't keep in touch or if you become vulgar or offensive I will delete you!!! Also, I'm not on here to be anyone's trophy and I'm not interested in anyone who is a "player". If that's all you're interested in then go play on someone else's profile!!!
