I sent this to him after his last email:

Dave,
I don't know if you're a religious man, but I'm praying for you and all of our overseas troops. You're going through hell so we back in the States don't have to. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I feel cheap in just saying these words; I only wish there was something more I could do (too young to sign up myself). If there's anything any of us back in the States can do for you or any of our troops, let us know.
Thanks immensely, and I hope you return safely.
Your friend from the RenForums,
Nick (a.k.a. Hydra)

Stay safe out there -- we definitely don't like to hear about your near miss.

I got this reply the next day (thanks for reminding me because I forgot to post it:

Thanks so much for the prayers Many people do many things in support for us troops wether directly or indirectly and it's deeply appreciated. No one should feel cheap about writing words of appreciation for the soldiers, it's a boost for many that are away from friends & family ... Thank you again!
Ripintou

Yes, the near miss was an eye opener. We've heard that the insurgents have very old mortors / rockets which is why only about 1 out of 5 go off, but they might just get darn lucky one day and all go off. I guess the odds were in my/our favour this time.
I shall do everything in my power to ensure my team and I return.
Thanks
Dave

I'll drop him another line to let him know we're still thinking about him.
I'm the bawss.
