WASHINGTON – Worried that the Army may have missed red flags about the alleged shooter in the Fort Hood massacre, the Pentagon will likely launch an inquiry into how all the military services keep watch on other volatile soldiers hidden in their ranks, officials said Tuesday. The probe, still in the planning stages, would be a broad examination ranging beyond the specific case of Army psychiatrist Dr. Nidal Malik Hasan, officials said. The inquiry, they said, could look at personnel policies ...

"God gives us memory so we can have roses in December."  - J. M. Barrie There is a place you can go to feel the war in Iraq. You can't experience it living in everyday America. We are shopping and playing golf and watching soap operas and complaining about the price of gas but we don't feel this war. Those of us who don't have a friend or a child in uniform in Iraq have a hard time understanding the pain being caused by this conflict in our country and in Iraq. This is essentially what confou...

The Things We Carry There is a great novel about Vietnam written by Tim O’Brien. It’s called “The Things They Carried,” and one of the main themes is the superstitious ways soldiers dealt with the war.

They carry the basic "necessities" for survival (if one can consider suc...

rhumb-lines-n%e2%80%a6ber-05-2008.pdf This year September 11th (Patriots Day) is a special time for remembering our fallen brothers and sisters.  For those who may not know, I served at Ground Zero during the first few days of the search and rescue efforts, so being here in Iraq working to help put an end to terrorist insurgent activity is a very surreal feeling. A military newsletter is attached for all to enjoy. Thank you for your continued support and prayers. The personal sacrifices that ...
