After over a year in iraq, I am proud to say that my brother Sgt.Rusty "stove" Gage has landed in the usa and will be home in a few days. We are so proud and relieved to have him back safe and sound. Others in his unit were not as lucky, and my heart goes out those families. Here is shot of him during one of his duties, which on this day was to guard senator Reed from R.I. Thats the stove to the left of the senator.  |

Congrats Matt, tell him we appreciate his service!

not so lng after the end of our geopolitical misadventure in viet nam, during the time of the ussr's involvment in afghanistan, arlo did an incredibly sad song called, as i recall, "when a soldier makes it home". we should all be thankful that not only did matt's brother make it home, but that he is doing so with all the honour and respect due to him, unlike the unfortunate veterans of that earlier conflict. michael mcclain |

How'd he get the nickname STOVE? |

I guess the guys in his unit started calling him that, he`s been called Rusty his entire life, so they call him rusty stove....the stove. On March 21 RI channel 12 will start a 5 part series on A Battery, 1/103rd FA. (Rustys battery.) It will run on the 6PM news. Mon thru Friday all next week and the series will examine different facets of life and duty in Iraq. The series will also be avaialbe on the WPRI website, www.wpri.com and http://www.wpri.com. |
