FYI ya'll

Just received a phone call from my son, Robert, whose in Baghdad. We were able to talk for 18 minutes. I passed along to him all of your thanks for his service to our nation. He is doing well and today is a day off for his Platoon. His response to your thanks was "No problem, just doing my job". So far, he said, his Platoon had not run across any IED's. I'll follow with more as it comes in. Thanks to all of you for your concerns for him and the men of his Platoon.

Thank you for the update.

I have some friends in Iraq, and their response to thank you, is the same, we're just doing our job.

Our military guys really are something else, you may just be doing your job, but it is a dangerous job, it is a thankless job, but it is an important job, that many of us have done, but are too old to be able to do anymore.

What they are doing is important, and laying down your life on a job, is not just doing your job.

Glad to hear he and his fellow soldiers are doing OK.
