Thank you Sam for bringing us the story of this wonderful patriot Kosciuszko.

Thank you Aeronaut. We wouldn't have a thing to do if we didn't have an audience to share with and participate in engaging conversation with. We can be both serious and fun here. It's a great place learn about our military history and a nice place to call home.

Good morning EGC.

They agreed that steady work under good conditions at a living wage was absolutely essential.

LOL. We've been having conversations about how our tax system is built around keeping the "working man" working. Entrepreneurship is not taught to school children. Our tax system requires "worker bees" to keep paying into the political system.

Thanks for the reminder that the goal to rise above the "worker bee" system isn't the real goal either. ;-)

Marhaba(howdy),

I am busier now than I have ever been. My unit develops all the construction contracts in the 1st Cavalry Division's area of operations. The Army seems to be the biggest employer of Iraqi contract labor. We are perpetually behind. I have been sent to Camp Cooke which is on the Al Taji Military Base northwest of Baghdad which used to be a Republican Guard base. This has become the size of a small city here. The Iraqi National Guard is on the other side from us here. Things of mass disappearance are not so disappeared here-within walking distance.

I received two packages from [PE's] friends in Wichita Falls. I have just not had time to write them thanks. They sent a note about his baby being born. Tell him congrats on that.

Speaking of dove hunting-I was down on Saddam's hunting grounds just north of Baghdad Airport. There were more fat dove and quail there than I had ever seen in my life. Send a shotgun!(just kidding). I am sure your land/trailer stories get more interesting. I have too many stories to tell here. Slept through a rocket attack the other night-most impacts were old 107mm Chinese duds. Things have
actually quieted down since we arrived. Say a prayer for old me.

Assalamu Alykum,
Paul

I knew that, really I did. :-)
