First off I want to apologize for the complete neglect of bixit.net as well as my other ventures including fragleague.com and asoldier.net. I was recently deployed with the 101st to Afghanistan in order to suppress some nasty Taliban insurgencies springing up aroun the Kandahar area. Unfortunately in late September I was struck by an IED which took most of my right leg, and my left leg just above the knee. I will walk again, eventually. It is an uphill battle that I will have to fight. Fortunately my life was not taken, and I was able to preserve tree or four others who may have been killed or seriously injured by the blast. Because of that I was awarded the Silver Star by Gen. Campbell, as well as my Purple Heart, and Combat Action Badge for confronting the enemy in an engagement and being wounded.
My plans for the future are pretty straight forward. I plan to begin taking college courses immediately, and I will be looking forward to building a home somewhere soon. I will always endeavor to help those in need. Especially artists and designers who do not have the means to make themselves known or have their own place to start. Webspace and bandwidth aren’t much, but I will help where I can. I’ve always been a soldier. I am here to help when needed, protect when affected, and defend when engaged. I will never stop being who I am no matter what happens to me.
Bixit.net will not go away, and will continue to be updated as I find time and points of interest. As well as my personal websites and other public interests. Do not forget the motto, “Everybody Fights!, Nobody Quits!”. I will always hold true to that motto, and I will never quit.
Yours Truly, David Bixler a.k.a. A Soldier.


Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for our country and our freedom. We all owe you so much, and you deserve better. You are a truly selfless man, and a hero to everyone. Thank you. Also, besides being a war-time hero, you are a hero to many artists, including the artists at the Luminarium. I hope you enjoyed the exhibit we dedicated to you.
I certainly do enjoy it. Thank you so much
