I know you have a great deal to do, but please consider collecting your experiences into a book. There are several good accounts of the invasion of Iraq in print, but I don't know of any that describe what it took to wrest that land from the secondary invaders who tried to hijack the liberated Iraq the way the Bolsheviks hijacked Russia during its revolution--or why it is essential to stop them.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure that your experiences would find a publisher, and equally sure they would help to answer sloganeers back home.<BR/>---njcommuterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649397.post-10332214592300421102007-09-21T11:57:00.000-06:002007-09-21T11:57:00.000-06:00Safe journey home and a huge THANK YOU to you and ...Safe journey home and a huge THANK YOU to you and all the men and women who serve our country with such courage.

Thank you for having the courage to stand up and put on a uniformm when so many are afraid to even fly their flag outside their home for fear of offending someone or appearing to take a stand. Thank you for your service and sacrifice and that of your family. Lastly, thank you for sharing so much of yourself thru this blog. Your writings connected me to the world over there, which was a comfort considering I have a loved one currently serving. I learned a lot! Like so many others, I look forward to your future works because I'm sure they will be as compelling as your writings here.

You have our well earned respect. You folks have done an amazing job. I never read a story about IEDs cleared, or weapons caches found and destroyed, without thinking of all the lives saved. To the families of the heros we've lost, their names will be engraved in stone, their stories recorded for history, but their spirits will live on in our hearts. All gave some, some gave all. From a greatful nation, thank you. You have our respect, and our love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34649397.post-7357239457013231922007-09-17T00:16:00.000-06:002007-09-17T00:16:00.000-06:00Thank you for your service, TD.
