20th Week After R&R
Today is a day I wish I wasn't here for. 4 workers leaving one of my projects outside the wire were kidnapped on their way home. One was released today thankfully. I'm just in awe of the courage of these Iraqis who keep on coming even after these tragedies occur. The contractor and his men are determined to keep on building this sub station to get the lights turned on for his neighbors at all costs. It is truly an amazing experience and makes me so very thankful for all of our blessings back home. I cannot imagine what it would be like if we had to risk it all every day just for going to work...These folks are so thankful for the chance they've been given to be free. As each month goes by, more and more IA brigades step up to take control of securing these provinces ...counties. Slowly but surely they are "takin care o business" and slowly but ever so surely each province governate ...county commission...is working with the IA soldiers to secure the towns and villages and rid itself of thugs and terrorists. Just an awesome experience to see and be part of. We have so much to be proud of and thankful for...

Sorry to hear about your workers. It's really sad to think that here they were, trying to build something good and useful and someone else is trying to stop them. Guess there will always be evil in this world, definately something we find very hard to understand. Hope you are staying safe until your return home, many people here are counting the days until you come back, I am sure of that. Glad to hear you're keeping everything on track, the people deserve such simple things as electricity, water, schools, etc. I see more and more how fortunate we are over here in the good ole USA! Shalom.

Cheryl...thanks for two neat comments..You "get it" so please not to worry. It's my brethren who don't have clue and think everything revolves around their politics. If there weren't a President, wouldn't it be neat to know there are still at least 150,000 of us willing to suit up and come on over here to root out these bast--- that are crazy enough to blow up innocent men, women and children just because they believe we're the "evil" ones in the world and by destroying us they're gonna be with "72 virgins" at the end of the day?
I'm so thankful we are the people we are and have these guys and gals amongst us who, at 19 and 20, "get it". I will never ever forget what these "kids" are doing for us and how blessed we are just to be able to go to work and have only to "fight traffic" on the way home..LOL Only in Amerrrrrrrrrica Cheryl...God bless and love to the gang.
