I think all the hubbub over things like avian flu, West Nile Virus, and shark attacks are overblown media circuses. In almost all cases of rare sicknesses, and diseases in general, the vast majority of people affected are young children and the elderly…not healthy 15-50 year olds. Then again, perhaps I am a little laissez-faire. After all, I drink creek water with reckless abandon.

That is quite an accomplishment. We'll miss your street level accounts but I'm sure we will also enjoy your new perspective. And just think, now there will be some grunts griping to home and perhaps on a blog about all those wacky orders from higher-higher and it will be about YOU! Take care of your guys. I hope my nephew now in Iraq (very busy) and my son who deploys all too soon have team leaders and commanders as talented as you. Question: what will your book be called when you write about it all from home?? J Congrats to you! That is quite an accomplishment.

Take care of your guys. I hope my nephew now in Iraq (very busy) and my son who deploys all too soon have team leaders and commanders as talented as you.

Question: what will your book be called when you write about it all from home??

About the geese--any worries there about bird flu? Just curious. As always, keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

But hey, at least we now know you'll be back to kick some more ass in Halo for sure. According to your workspace, you're staying in shape, too! You know that saying, "It's better to have loved and lost..."? Although I doubt you really really <i>loooved</i> being in the line of fire, at least you had the chance to go out there, get your hands dirty, and make a difference from a first-person perspective. Congrats. Now be safe. =) Oh man, that sucks! But hey, at least we now know you’ll be back to kick some more ass in Halo for sure. According to your workspace, you’re staying in shape, too!
