Back To The Sandbox

Post by Colin Britton »

Well I got the Warno on the 23rd of December... I have been lucky for quite awhile but looks like its back to the big sandbox.... That really put a damper on my famlies Christmas. Like I had'nt seen enough of Iraq the first time.... But looks like I'll get to see how things have changed since the war. It just wont be the same without Saddam.....
I hope to see some of the sights I had missed. But I did tour Babylon my 1st time. Anyone know of any other tourist attractions?
And the list of any good 5 star hotels to stay at for my extended vacation would be great. Some place with a pool. Thanks....
ATW,
Doc Britton.

Doc,

Thank you for your Service. My family thoroughly understands that you are taking it to them rather than them bringing it here.

Please PM (PM ONLY) me your physical address when you arrive so that my kids can send your unit some goodies down range.

Stay Safe! our prayers are with you.

Thanks for your service Doc. I understand how you feel and what your family is going through.
Going in harms way is the life of career soldiers and thank God for men like you . Freedom is not free and only exist because of you and your brother service personel.

Good Luck Doc... make sure you winterize the old truck before you leave - that is if winter ever comes. I am sure if you need someone to drive it around every so often while you are away, a board member would be more then willing... :D

Thanks for the service......
