Finally, I'm putting together some boxes of magazines and books and other things to send Wade for him and his guys in Iraq.
A newspaper reporter was here this morning and shot some photos of the care packages I have on my table next to my desk and is writing a story about it which is pretty cool. It wouldn't have gotten any attention, but Tuesday, my boss hears about my little project going on collecting magazines and books to send and she asks what she can do to help. I told her they could probably use some toothpaste, toothbrushes, deodorant, and baby wipes. She came back to me an hour later and now my office is filled with well over a thousand bucks worth of stuff to send out. I was blown away. She didn't even question it, she just did it and told me to make sure we get this stuff out ASAP.
So Wade, if you read this, be looking for some boxes headed your way real soon. Hopefully, more business people in not only my town, but allover will see what my boss did and help out as well. Politics aside, you guys deserve way more for what you're going through and doing in Iraq.

Oh yeah, I'll post photos from the newspaper article when it hits newstands Sunday.

No and no.
I have taken a lot of pictures, shot a little digital video, while I am here. They are not all "pleasant", but certainly give a soldiers-eye view of the war. If anybody is interested, get me an address and I will mail...

Wade already has some Ei T-shirts (not the LL's ones though)
Sent them to him before he left
Need any new ones Wade?
Send me some photos when you get them and send me an email anytime you want.

Go ahead and include me on the pic e-mails

To all who have asked to be emailed pics, due to the size of the files, I can only email a few (our bandwidth is somewhat limited and my storage on AKO is pretty small...). If you have a mailing address, I will burn them to CD's for anybody that wants them and send.

I will get pictures out to you as soon as I can. What we cannot use (because there is so much) we are going to donate to Iraqi children through our civil military operations cell (hopefully, we will have pictures of that for you, too).
