I was sent to war, I was with the Army. My stuff was in storage. My 2 storage sheds were broken into, on a Army base. My boots, saddle and all the stuff with it. Bridle, breast collar, split reins, gaming reins, southwest saddle pad, bit, bosal, my chaps, and show halter and lead was all stolen. I had worked hard for that saddle when I was in AQHA. I also lost a whole house full of stuff of my daughters and mine. Its pretty bad that someone would stoop low enough to steal someones belongings in any situation, but especially while that someone is in combat. The Army did nothing, as usual. I have not been able to replace all that I had and wish I could, cause I would love to go back to showing. I do horsemanship, showmanship and gaming.Thank you for listening to me. By the way, I spent 10 mos. in Iraq the first time and 11 the next. Thank you Melody FitzSimons
