Update from Iraq
Note from a friend stationed in Iraq:
"Weather still freakin' hot. It was about 118 today, but we had a nice breeze...with the wind chill, it felt like it was down to a balmy 115.
"So, they had this citizenship ceremony here the other day. 140 foreign nationals who had enlisted in the Army had been granted citizenship. I think there were folks from about 35 countries represented here. All Americans now. Pretty cool stuff. Pic enclosed."
