Hey, Welcome to Hobbit Hole!
That is very sad to hear about your unit and how the active unit is treating you. You all need the support you can get! I know I am preaching to the choir here, but good grief...
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all!!

Ok, First off, someone tell me how to post a reply to multiple people without having to type everyones screen name. Is there an address book or something? I only get a half hour at a time on the internet, but I spend most of it chatting with my wife Crystal. We went to the Palace in Mosul today, and got a group photo (most of us anyway). As soon as I can get it on disk, I will either post it, or e-mail it to Rick to post. There are some other good pictures too. Thanks for all the offers. We always appreciate goodies, and if we get too much we toss it to the Iraqi children in the streets as we go by. It is quite stirring to see them. They run to the streets to wave at us, and see if we have anything for them. We are not allowed to throw food to them, but we often do anyway. It is so sad to see how they live. Most of their houses are falling down. It is cold here, and it is very common to see children as young as 6 or 7 working in the fields all day, instead of going to school, or playing with their friends. I guess what I'm trying to say is feel free to send whatever you want. It brightens our day, and if we throw candy to the children, it brightens their day as well as ours. It really is a noble effort that we are here for. These people have suffered for many years, and we, along with your help bring a ray of hope into the childrens life. Thanks again for everything. God bless you all.
