BAGHDAD
Well everyone I made it to the big city. The ride was a little bumpy on the C-130 but it landed in one piece so all is good. Things now are going to be a little different now, the mission our company is doing is TOP SECRET so unfourtunately I cannot tell you about ANYTHING that I or my company is doing. Please don't inquire about anything other than my well-being because we are under very strict Operational security (OPSEC) and I could potentialy get into a lot of trouble by just answering simple questions about anything other than that. I will be out and about and will have the opportunity to take pictures of the sights around, so I will post pictures of those things and talk about what I get to see. I appreciate all of the letters and gifts from everybody, the movies have been great ( 1 or 2 CD's would be nice to listen to though see -a few things for a solider-). I will do my best to keep my site interesting even though my selection of material is limited. Thanks everyone, I love you all!

In the FOG of WAR
Soldiers die.
We had to send two of our soldiers home to their families due to an accident yesterday. These brave men died serving their country for a cause. Some may not agree with why we are here, some may even think the 2000 plus service members who have contributed the ultimate sacrafice died in vain. To die in vain is to have died without a purpose, that purpose is solidified every single day Iraqi citizens can live in a country where they have a voice, every day a new Iraqi soldier is trained, everyday an Iraqi was granted a fair trial instead of being murdered. The morning held a thick fog with visibility around 20 feet, and sadly an Iraqi who also was lost was driving on the wrong side of the road. The surviving soldier was driving and she feels she is to blame, as her battle buddies we are here for her and helping her through this time when we are all affected by the loss. I ask you the person who's safety we are all over here for to take a moment of silence for our companies and the families loss, and send your strength to the soldier who needs it the most right now.
