In addition to boats, I have another love - Jeeps. I belong to another forum similar to iboats that discusses Jeeps, offroading, etc. A while back (less than a year ago) I read through a long thread about a guy who had rolled his Jeep backwards down a large rocky hill. I saw video of it and was stunned that it held up as well as it did - in fact I'm shock he walked away alive. It was a testament to the quality of the off-road Jeep he constructed.<br /><br />Well, I found out this morning that he has been killed in action in Mosul, Iraq. He was 23.<br /><br />I never knew the guy... but he represents everything I think about when view an American Soldier in my head. He loved the outdoors, Jeeping and his Country. <br /><br /> <br />Articles:<br /> http://vaildaily.com/article/20060608/NEWS/60608010 <br /> http://vaildaily.com/article/20060608/NEWS/60608011 <br /><br />His home Forum:<br /> http://www.colorado4x4.org/vbb/showthread.php?t=67122 <br /><br /><br />RIP Lt.
