Well, I don't know if anyone noticed, but I haven't been posting as of late. As it is I found myself deployed and unable to ride for the next few months and without a computer. So far I have only been able to remedy the issue with the computer so my first thought was to come here and "see" you all again. You know, like a support group! Anyway, I'm back on the board, for those that noticed, and thanks to everyone for being here when each of us needs it!

My #2 son just came back from there in November. He says it's not at all like the news media wants people to think. There are still plenty of bad guys there, but not near as many as CNN wants you to think, and the majority of the people are glad to have help clearing them out.

Thanks to everyone! I just wanted everyone to know how much all of your support means to us over here; it really is important and appreciated greatly. This is my 2 tour in Iraq and I can say with certainty that things are getting better as some of you have heard. We still have work to do, but just in 1 year since I was hear last, there is a noticeable improvement. Thanks again!

Glad to hear, from someone actually over there and not sitting in NYC or LA, that things are improving. Stay safe, drink lots of water and don't flirt with any of the camels!!
If you get any liberty time to get away and decompress for a few days, get your butt over to Bahrain and enjoy a cold beer or three.
Thanks for your service !!
