Picture in the article.

And I guar-an-tee that LSU girl has a Southern accent that melts hearts.
I would imagine there are thousands Fraternity and Sorority members serving in Iraq.

God bless her. I have a fond spot in my heart for LSU sorority girls. Probably because I was an LSU student a long time ago. Never joined a fraternity but they let me date them anyway. Love those dark haired cajun girls.

"Private Benjamin" comes to mind.
How's this? (R&R at a former Saddam palace):
took me a while to notice the nice big gun.......wow
I think she's doing a great job and it's wonderful that so many brave young Americans are experiencing first hand what I miss by not having her home. Her personality, charm, charisma, laugh, and yes, good ole' southern hospitality. Of course I'm a little bias, I'm her Dad.

Happy Father's Day, David! Good job! I appreciate you and Kristen's sacricfice. My prayers for her safe return...
