Touch Wood...

“It’s not durable yet. It’s not self-sustaining, You know — touch wood — there is still a lot of work to be done.”
Gen. David Petraeus

Evening...

Ready for the weekend? I am. As we turn the corner and head to the end of August I find myself sneaking a peek at the calendar. I will admit, it is tough not to look. Every day we get a little closer to having our warriors from the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment home and I find it a challenge to stay focused and keep from day dreaming about their return.

Is it just me or can you identify?

The New York Times carried an interesting article published earlier this week on the efforts of General Petraeus called Exiting Iraq, Petraeus Says Gains Are Fragile. Regardless of how you feel about the war or your warrior's involvement, I think you will enjoy the read, especially since the 2nd SCR was a major force in Petraeus' counter-insurgency strategy.

For the second straight day the info hounds did not turn up any new pictures of the 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment conducting operations.

However, there was an interesting video clip from Reuters called Taking the Fight to Diyala...

Chris, I Love you buddy. We continue to pray for your safety and think about you every day!

Be safe!
