12 November: Jumping Track Flash

"SSG Terry plowed a lane for us all the way from the eastern edge of the city where we had become disabled, all the way to the highway – MSR Mobile. There we waited about an hour for CPT Freihl, the TF2-2IN BMO, to arrive with a HET and an escort of humvee gun trucks.

Someone somewhere along the way had the foresight to feed us because he showed up with one plate full of cold mashed potatoes for the 8 of us to share. It wasn’t much, but it was better than nothing. We hadn’t eaten for almost 9 hours and we were a little hungry. And morale was at a slight downturn, so the mashed potatoes were a nice change from the usual muffins and powerbars."
