  3. Randy,

    I didn't know you were in Afghanistan! Thank you so much for your service. Things sure change quickly. How long is your rotation? I pray that God looks over you while you're there and uses you in great ways to alleviate the agony of war. I'm actually kind of jealous and wish I could be there at your side providing anesthesia. (I hope you're being supervised?! :) haha) I did my 6 years in the NG, but I don't think uncles sam would take me back r/t medical hx. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers and will continue to check in and see how you're doing. I look forward to seeing you again when you get back.

    Thank you again for your service!

    - Grant Van Meter
