These photos came from a young lady from my hometown serving in Iraq named Kirsten. The subject was "photos that will never make the news". For privacy reasons, I don't want to give out more information about her, but she emailed these to her sister and my daughter and they are being forwarded around the net through email. I am taking the liberty of posting them on Free Republic and want her to know that she and all her friends are in our thoughts and prayers for a safe return.

Thank you, Aliska.

Some classics, and more great pics posted on this thread (that some of us wish we had saved the first time, lol).

Joining you in prayer for Kirsten, and her friends!

God bless our troops, civilian, native and coalition allies!

Operation Uplink.

Operation Uplink is a unique program that keeps military personnel and hospitalized veterans in touch with their families and loved ones by providing them with a free phone card. Using contributions from supporters like you, Operation Uplink purchases phone cards and distributes them to servicemen and women who are separated from those they care about.
