Well, the last couple of days in Iraq have arrived. I’m getting ready to go home. I’ve still managed to take pictures every day, but getting them processed, uploaded to flickr, and put into a blog post has proven to be a bit more of a challenge. And honestly, I think the next week is going to be pretty similar. If I don’t get a flight tomorrow,...

I had to make a quick trip to the Legal Office the other day. Here on COB Adder it is called the “The Alamo”.

“As long as the mind is enslaved, the body can never be Free” That’s the quote from Dr. King, painted on a wall mural here at Ali AB, Iraq. I told you I was going to get more pictures of some of the really cool painting on the walls around the base. Today’s, was a really perfect coincidence. We drive our truck almost ever where around...
