Evening...
Another weekend gone as we press on towards September...as Tom would say, "another day closer to having them home."
The info hounds were out hunting today but not a whole lot to share. Bill Murray, who writes for the The Long War Journal, has an excellent article on the 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment and their work in the Diyala province - US Army creates non-lethal platoon to handle reconstruction as violence subsides.
Other than that article and the photos of Eagle Company, 2nd SCR on patrol in Baquba, Iraq...it was a fairly quiet news day.
To those of you who have recently wrote to my lovely wife and I, thank you so much. This has and never will be about us...it is about Chris and the 2nd SCR.
Your comments, words of encouragement, thoughts and prayers help us know we are not alone on this long journey. Your faithfulness to pray for us, Chris and the entire 2nd SCR has meant more than you will ever know. How do we say thanks for all you have done?
On we go...we will finish strong...we must.
Chris, we love you son. When you return I will tell you about the army of folks who have been praying over you and the 2nd SCR. Stay strong buddy and keep your head on a swivel every time you go outside the wire.
