With THIS blog, I'm risking an injury

And maybe a friendship also....
but I done it years ago before, and because I'm deeply worried, I'll risk it again.

Since April of this year my friend, our friend Nam is in Ukraine, assisting in their war.
September 2nd is the last mail I received from him, unlike his last mail before it, he was over there with only 3wks to go, asked me to pray for him as he felt those last weeks were going to be his longest, and him being him, the NAM within the man had to throw a joke in of course, to lighten his mood and perhaps for me to worry less..... as if.

Not long ago I put out a request for a link, and thanks to a member, I received one handshake
but the thing is, unless I hear from Nam, I need to be searching every once in awhile and since I don't have the know how, could someone else from another end if possible, do the search for me???

Would really appreciate, if someone would.

A thought for Nam along with a prayer, he'll return home, safely.... teddybear

Oh dear....I do remember Nam....I hope all is well. comfort ....though I’m not sure how to go about the search you speak of...such scary times over there, I do hope he’s ok sad flower
Just pray that he wasn't captured, being American he would be singled out for special treatment. Or hopefully for trade.
I know Nam does have some real friends here, so I'm hoping one of them shall.

But cheers for the comment thumbs up
Why just because he's an American, actually don't answer that.

This is not his first time over there, it's his second, after returning home from the first trip, he decided to resign again, I'm thinking maybe he resign for a 3rd contract but maybe unlike the last time, with no home time... the connection there was bad so he told me, I probably won't hear from him again till he's home.
That sounds more hopeful. Do you know that they aren't allowed communicate because signals are intercepted.
It was only the one mail, and he never mentioned that to me.
Just reread Nam's last mail I received the 2nd of last month thumbs up
Bump
I hope all is well with Nam.

it's been awhile since I last read a blog from our trucker
Not surprised to find Nam in Ukraine and all I can offer is prayer.............................jennyteddybear
hopefully he'll be back soon blogging again.

For the right reasons I need to keep this blog active, so thank you for your comment handshake
Thank you Tiger, much appreciate that handshake
I'll make use of it the best I can, and hopefully.
Nor I really but a man of his age, being accepted is where the surprise kicks in thumbs down
Was just thinking also of Nam his age, wow!
He must have been thinking that he did okay in Vietnam forgetting maybe that he
was then a few years younger................wave
Respected CW. angel
Nam Be safe and Come back Safe. love

peace hug bouquet
Eh. That old man always had a big heart.

"Punctuation nam! That Punctuation!". He laughed it off.

I sure hope he's good.
Hopefully Timo handshake

Hope you're keeping well and safe yourself hug wave
And so do I, unfortunately no word yet ...

Cheers for your comment Bniedem wine
I'm surprised, too. shock

However much Nam's and my opinions clash, I'm taken aback at his bravery in fighting for a cause he believes in at his age.

I hope at some point he'll get to read this blog and know that we are thinking of him, praying for him and hoping no harm comes to him.
/\/\/\/\/\ That was me.
Each to their own as to what bravery is...
but thank you, two in one roll eyes
for adding into, we're thinking of him and hoping for the best.

wine
Yep i hope he is fine too, never had much to do with Nam but he is an old stalwart of blogs so i wish him well.

He may not be fighting but volunteering driving people to safer place in Ukraine. Just hope so

teddybear teddybear
You know your stuff Red thumbs up wave
but trying to respect his privacy the best I can, I'll say no more than I need to.

If my calculations are right, I'm hoping he'll be home come January...
possibly brewing up a storm with me for not keeping my trap shut uh oh lol

Bless you is all i can say. If we cannot support deserving people on here well the world comes to an end teddybear
And you also Red teddybear
but I think that boat of care & support has well sailed these days...
gone are the days how this place once, used to be.

Cheers to YOU for never going with the flow hug wine
I felt Nam dislike for Putin was inconsistent with my understanding of the events unfolding in Ukraine, I to Vietnam Veteran choose to just watch the stuff Nam stated in his blogs,
Hopefully be be Ok and return safely
So's not to forget about Nam and keep him in our thoughts/prayers " bump" very happy

Hopefully Rob, and cheers for the comment wine
Yes when we see news etc Nam does come to mind his family must be proud but also afraid for him too teddybear
BUMP

Still thinking of you teddybear
BUMP roll eyes

Together we'll think of him Red wine

Come next month hopefully, he'll raise above his very long silence moping

even if its to give me a very good trashing ..uh oh

trashing would be worth it if he comes back wine
Still thinking of and missing Nam....


If only...... christmas sad
snowed in moping


christmas sad

Sending out a Christmas wish for Nam teddybear
be safe.
Sending my wishes also celtic. I cannot understand confused some on here who have not sent him goodwill wishes.


teddybear teddybear teddybear
Hoping he has a peaceful xmas wherever he is santa waving
BUMP again i think about nam these days and hope he is back soon safely
wave wave hi celtic hope the things are going ok for you medically at least.

Yep i get you about Nam and yes i do think of him and his family. The folk on here now just do not care about the help and bravery of a person .

I will only come on here now and again, as the blogs and poetry too get flooded with certain folk at one time that was not allowed giving space for true bloggers.

How things change so many cannot think past their own a----ses

Still could be me i am ageing somewhat cheering cheering cheering take care dear celtic teddybear
Just because people don't keep sending best wishes doesn't mean they're not thinking of Nam and hoping he's okay.

A part of that it seeing this blog pop up from time to time to remind us of his journey in amongst all the other things that command our attention.

What he's doing, or has done is clearly his passion and purpose and I'm pleased he has that. It would just be nice to hear that he's okay, even if he doesn't wish to share any of his experiences.
Its on our news jac a 28 and 50odd year old men missing. The both went out and help moving people to safer places and their families have not heard from them. The Russians they say have one body but that has not been confirmed moping

Then of course i think again about Nam.

My youngest son did Iraq twice and Bosnia and i know what it feels like not to know if they are ok and come out of things. His memories (that he talks about) are the state of civilians and what they go through. Glad he is out army now teddybear
