It was three years ago to the day when I arrived in theater, and spent a year in that forsaken place.
It always amazes me how things have transformed.
Thank you, Pat, for all you and yours did for me and mine.
I am so grateful that the Iraqis wised up in time to see to it that your efforts and the sacrifices of all our military did not go in vain. Whatever happens to the state of Iraq, I think this province through their tribal leaders will continue to keep al Qaida at bay there. Please, dear Lord!
Also they are freed of the vicious rule of Saddam and have learned something about citizens stepping up with their leaders to take control of their destinies. All in all good may be coming out of the rubble of Ramadi.
