I have blogged about the Kerr Family who stayed with us for several days for their son, Cameron's, graduation from Dickinson College and his Commissioning into the Army. Many guests leave here as friends. The Kerr Family left here like family.
Recently I mentioned that he was deployed late last year to Afghanistan with his platoon of 22 men. We've just heard that he's come home after a tragic incident which involved an IED and the loss of a portion of Cam's leg. Cam was rushing to the aid of an Afghan soldier with his platoon, also injured by an IED, when he set off another. Members of his platoon came to his aid quickly and efficiently and Cam was transported out via medevac. Now at Walter Reed, he'll have a year of PT ahead of him. Cam's eternal optimism of course comes into play here..While I can only imagine being devastated by these events, Cam will turn this into an opportunity to share and teach others as only he can.
The Kerrs remain in our thoughts and prayers, with Cam's new path at the forefront of our minds.
Glad to have you stateside Cam!
