Life in Iraq







We are so happy to have Daddy back home! When we spoke on the phone he never told me much about things that were going on there. Now that I have heard about the many mass casualties, mortars, and his many experiances in the OR I realize that he didn't want me to worry. There are a few things that are still hard for him to talk about. I have so much to be thankful for. I am proud of him and the many others who are fighting for our freedom.
