It has been about 2 ½ years since I posted last, and though I have
lurked occasionally on this great forum, I have not been here nearly
enough. After I left Cambridge, MA (Hey NE Freepers!) I got married
and my Air Force training started in earnest, both of which conspired
to keep me from having the luxury of Freeping on a regular basis. Anyway,
just wanted to let you all know that it feels great to see that though the
news may be about the Olympics and Enron, some folks haven’t forgotten us.

On Nov 11 I flew my 19th combat sortie over Afghanistan.

Currently I am deployed to location in the Middle East that still
does not exist because of political sensitivities. I flew yet another
sortie last night over Afghanistan, and as we orbited, I wondered
if anyone cared that we were still doing this. Then I logged on
today. Though we have limited access and even more limited
bandwidth, it was worth it. Friends, it did my heart good to see
that some at home still remember, and still know that this will
be a long hard fight, if we are to preserve what so many in the
past have given their all to save and secure. Now it is our turn.

God Bless America!
