Well, for the first time in quite a while...there is virtually nothing to blog about related to the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment. However, I am loving it...

Why? It means things are quiet at this time for our warriors...will it last? Probably not...

So lets enjoy nothing while we can...

We spoke on the phone with Chris a couple of times since Saturday. Our conversations lead us to believe he is doing well and hanging tough. His ability to use the video camera and talk with uh, shall we say an "important" person in his life, helps keep him mentally strong and forward looking. For that we are so thankful...

Let me close with photos of General Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Forces- Iraq, working the Karkh District of west Baghdad, March 1. General Petraeus toured the area with leaders from Multi-National Division-Baghdad.

Enjoy...and continue to pray there continues to be nothing to blog about...
