Hey Patriot Family,

Here I am, back in the dust of Iraq! I am at Al Asad airbase located in beautiful western Iraq.

I am excited to be back and to be doing my part. We are very busy right now with being the incoming unit. The out going unit gave us a cookout today which was rather nice.

I cant complain about the living conditions one bit considering last time I was out in the middle of no where.

Once again, I will pass along mail info if you desire it. And I am sure my wife, Ani, will be jumping on from time to time and I hope to be sharing some more pictures from this tour.

Hope all is well back in the states! Thanks for all your support!
