I’ve received a lot of letters over the years that the 105th has been stood up. Below
are a few of the stand-outs, reprinted with permission of the author and state
sanction.

First night on the ground after the Iran decap strike, Lt tagged the section for
night FISH, what we called “going skating” on account of all the nuked sand-glass.
There was still some enemy but since most of them didn’t have bunny suits, their
evil was starting to shine through. The section was a good bunch of boys. Buddy
had your back and God had his so we were in good shape.

Badland wasn’t firing bursts anymore – he was cycling through the whole belt.

I got over to Badland but saw the blood before I was in position. His belt was
cooking off on auto.

But Satan’s got his ways too as every good Christian knows and he can throw
one heck of a wrench in the works. A big fella we called “Badand,” he
had the M60 and was good at getting a beaten patch down PDQ. Pvt Bunde had
point and got out a warning for cover just before the shooting started.

Bunde crawled back, told me Badland was hit. God forgive me but at first I
just nodded because I could still hear the M60 hammering away. Then I realized that
Badland wasn’t firing bursts anymore – he was cycling through the whole belt.

I got over to Badland but saw the blood before I was in position. His belt was
cooking off on auto.

I ripped the disintegrating link to kill the M60 and took stock. Squad fought harder
and God held their rifles true and the firefight was over quickly enough. Badland
had been taken by Satan while prone and firing, so one side of his head and
collarbone was smashed up pretty bad. He was a mess, but bless my boy if he
didn’t smile and say, “Sarge, God has me. You’ve got the patrol.” He passed out
from the pain then and we treated him best we could before evac pulled him out.

I send Bunde out with him and the rest of the section carried on and completed
our mission. We knew it was what Badland would have wanted. But once we got
back, I’m not ashamed to admit that the six of us left got down on our knees and
prayed together and cried together that the Lord would let us have Badland for a
while yet before He saw fit to take him.

CSM told me later that the doc had said he’d never seen a stronger fight on his
table and Badland had won that fight with God’s love and our prayers. Ever since
that day, all off-duty Crusaders report for prayer duty whenever the doc has a
tough case to work on. Together, we stay strong to fight another day.

The loss of Kashmir was a second fall from Eden. The Heathen horde didn’t know
what they had but fought like two thieves fighting over a diamond because they
want to use it to drive a nail.

You boys done us all real proud. You stayed your post until birds were away like
Archangel Michael himself casting the Adversary out of Heaven.

I wasn’t serving then, but those of us who’d already done our bit and retired
were beside you in spirit and those who have gone ahead looked down from
above. You are never alone.

Crusaders, knowing your back home thinking of us gives us reason to give thanks
at daily service. The chaos of the world is darkest here. Mammon is everywhere.
We will fight evil to the last man but you tell your kin back home that the fight will
be there soon and it will take a nation like the 105th to cast Satan back into the pit.
