Talking to Herb Samme who was on R&R after working in Iraq in  honor of his son. On Friday July 30th I was able to sit down with Herb before he was returning to Iraq the next day- Tomorrow..

He spoke about being able to be where his son lived, ate and slept. Herb felt touched to be able to speak to a Man that was there on that dreadful day when Eric lost his life in 2006.

Herb also spoke about WHAT happened on the Very First Mission he went on where he was shot at by an Iraqi with a machine gun after an IED went off during a convoy.. He talked about what he saw, the experiences forever in his mind.. He also about the .50 Caliber Military Weapons that saved his life... also he spoke about what he thought about the weapons we have..

This was a heart wrenching interview because Herb was on the Very First Mission I took part in with the Michigan Patriot Guard.. Because of that ride I was able to learn about Eric's Story...

4 months ago I  sat down with Herb Samme's wife, right after Herb left for training. She explained about how Herb  was able to full fill his mission to go to Iraq to finish his son's Tour  of Duty.. His dream and goal was to be in Iraq for his son's  4 year anniversary- http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-425985

Herb will be in Iraq for the next 4 months, we can not discuss where in Iraq he is or  who he is working for due to National Security and the safety of his  fellow workers..

Herb Samme was relaxing before he had to return back to Iraq on Saturday, July 31st..
