Patrick Salvador served his country in Iraq on two tours his memories of the friend who didn't make it home, a man who has memories and stores many who sever find hard to tell. So many of our veterans who have come back maybe here but there is a need to welcome them home. There's many who thank them for serving - many who even one day or one battle would not be able to cope with what comes after.

Guys like me the story tellers - the shadows know the faccts like Patrick, who is Filipino American, seved wth the elite Stryker Brigade.

From November 2003 to November 2004, the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team deployed from Fort Lewis, Washington in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. In the sands of Iraq the 3rd Brigade Stryker Brigade Combat Team proved the value of the Stryker brigade concept in combat and logistics operations On the second tour, a brutal one for casualties and injuries, 

From June 2006 to September 2007, the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team deployed from Fort Lewis, Washington in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During the 3rd Stryker Brigade's second deployment to Operation Iraqi Freedom their mission was to assist the Iraqi security forces with counter-insurgency operations in the Ninewa Province. Following a second RIP (Relief in Place) with 172nd SBCT, the BDE split between the bridge proper and 1st BDE, 1st CAV DIV. The respective units were based out of Balad, Taji, and Greater Baghdad. The bulk of the 46 soldiers that were killed in action during the deployment, occurred during this time frame.

On 1 June 2006 at Fort Lewis, Washington the 4th Brigade, 2d Infantry Division was formed. From April 2007 to July 2008 the 4th Stryker Brigade Combat Team was deployed in as part of the surge to regain control of the situation in Iraq. The brigade assumed responsibility for the area north of Baghdad and the Diyala province. 35 soldiers from the brigade were killed during the deployment.

From October 2006 to January 2008, the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team deployed from Fort Carson, Colorado in support of the Multi-National Division – Baghdad (1st Cavalry Division) and was responsible for assisting the Iraqi forces to become self-reliant, bringing down the violence and insurgency levels and supporting the rebuilding of the Iraqi infrastructure. 43 soldiers from the brigade were killed during the deployment. 

Let's remember to never forget those who served and fought in our names and for our protection and freedom those in conflicts that just ended and those who have been a part of history we know was how America is what it is today.

Cherry Castellvi Tells us how in a relatively short period of time how Kabayan is New York's Largest Filipino Restaurant chain growing from a place people come to for food and one of America's largest and richest cities and its most affluent suburbs have grown to love Filipino food and her brand's expansion to old rich New York and Long Island with plans to go even further.

Buffalo Love or Buffa - Love a term I learned in the city of good nieghbors where people cared for thier city and each other through many trying times.

It's a city that in the face of much loss finds ways to rise versus pain and misery and rise anew again. It is the love of the city and one another. That's BuffaLove.  

Invaders filled with hate have come into the city and tried to do their worst - they failed both the boy with a gun who was radicalized by white racist thought and a convoy of thugs and opportunists now in the city hoping to rage and rampage and riot. Let's keep praying for Buffalo.
