When was this??? I would love to see that thread. I started lurking in April of 2003 and did not sign up until April of this yr. I stumbled on the DAy in the life of President Bush in NOvember of 2003. That in large part was the reason I finally signed up to become a freeper. I found the thread on Thanksgiving day because of our wonderful President's surprise visit to Baghdad. I should have signed up that day, but because my computer skills are so appalling, I was afraid too!! I hope mystery-ak's husband is safe.
He was in Iraq for a long time as his unit's deployment was extended more than once. They talked on the Dose -- and with us -- lots over the course of that time. mystery_ak would know the exact dates but IIRC he returned in the spring of this year. He's home, safe and sound at last report. Also, ohioWfan's son was deployed there and the Dosers spent a lot of time praying for them, their units, and all our soldiers in harm's way.
It was really helpful to hear directly from Mike and Eric (ohioW's son) how things were going day to day.
