Thanks Kimmy

i thougth this was a really cool email that i got.

The ex-cheerleader (age 19) in the picture below was watching a road that led to a NATO
military base when she observed a man digging by the road. She engaged the target, and
she shot him. Turned out he was a bomb maker for the Taliban and he was burying an IED
that was to be detonated when a US patrol walked by 30 minutes later. It would have certainly
killed and wounded several soldiers.

The interesting fact of this story is the shot was measured at 725 yards. She shot him as
he was bent over burying the bomb. The shot struck him in the butt blowing him into the bomb
which detonated. He was blown to pieces.

The Air Force made a motivational poster of her. (See below) Her name is Kimmy. To you, Kimmy, we say, HOO-AH! Thanks for your service. :-)
