Camp Frontenac - Enclosed are pictures from Camp Frontenac - a small FOB about 20 miles north of Kandahar...
Next to the Chapel, the Chaplain has erected a teepee which holds the pictures of the 21 soldiers lost from the 1-17, the Buffalo Brigade - to see this beautiful sacred space in the midst of all the harshness of the environment here is something beyond words.
There are moments of ultimate beauty here in a harsh landscape, and moments of incredible clarity - seeing how precious life really is.....It is something that is lost on most us during our day-to-day existence. We lose sight of what is really important, and how quickly it can be taken from us if we are not careful.
A prayer for the Brave Buffalo Soldiers and one of thankfulness for all that the LORD has provided each of us. We are all truly blessed and I was grateful for the reminder.
The picture of the Teepee at night is from Micheal Yon's report on this Sacred Space -- the others enclosed are shared with you from another source who will remain anonymous...
