Day 58 - September 11, 2007






Well today Leo's son reenlisted in the army and we had the ceremony on the roof of the hospital with Baghdad as the back drop. Also took some pictures of the Sheraton Hotel-Baghdad with windows shot out. The next picture is the GRD Bldg where the rockets hit-holes in the wall. That's the Iraqi Parliment building with the Flag. Then we have two Blackhawks flying by.....last picture Leo's son and his LT - thats Bailey and Chief holding the flag.


Other than this nothing exciting happening lately. Ramadan " Moslem holiday" begans thursday and runs for a month (New Moon to New Moon) - that's when things will probably get dicey.. We started a chess tournament today - a double eliminaton bracket....should be fun, these guys love their chess and soceer. Bad part is we have One chess board, so the tournament will take awhile.... Ah..got to see the Pats kick some Jet booty, hopefully I will ge to see one game each week without getting up at 4am....nah I am not that big a fan.. Two more Birthdays this month, Leo and Brittany- more cakes and this time I will video that cool camera.
That's it - Only 307 more days to go.....time flies by
Hi to everyone

Hey Brian, Managed to get back to your blog today. Much easier to read it at work - and I caught up on the dates I missed. That birthday cake looked good enough to eat. And the palace - unbelievably magnificent. Great that you're getting a chance to do some "touring". Did you see the video of TC concert yet?? Ashley and the group did a great job and really looked like they had a good time. You could see the bonds that had developed amongst the kids. James and his family are very nice and we had a good time on the boats when we met on Mullet Lake. Wish you could have been there. Take care, Pat
