My brother Matt Cooke was one of the soldiers seriously wounded. He really is a hero. I thank god every minute he is still with us. My prayers go out to the other famlies. He has already done 2 tours in Iraq and was about to go to Afghanistan. Its been so hard not knowing if he was going to make it, lots of tears, but he somehow pulled through. We are so proud of him. He is my only brother. I don't know what I would have done without him. I know Matt it is going to be a painful road ahead. We all got your back, luv your big sis
