My term in Iraq

I will always retain only fond memories of my time spent in Iraq. And for the record I am trying like hell to get back. I worked for KBR driving a flatbed Army issue rig much like the one pictured here. Driving about in southern Iraq, I recall the terrain-think of Cisco, UT only flatter. The camel herds like the ones pictured above. The little children running hell bent across the desert to meet us and beg for a handout. I'd love to be on the first Salvation Army convoy that could safely deliver handouts to those children and their families. I remember the losses of fellow drivers-and remember the words over a memorial"All gave some, some gave ALL" There is something that can be said for the bonds formed with buddies while serving together in a war zone. I wish them all the best and hope to join them soon if at all possible.

My son, Matthew goes over soon, my son in law returns soon. I can't sit idly by when I am fit and able to serve in some capacity. And yes, I look forward to the time off at some Kuwaitti seaside resort.
