We caught up with our families as we waited for our checked bags. After we had all our things, we said goodbye to one another and stepped out into the darkening Fairbanks night. A temperate 50-degree Interior night never felt so cool before.
I can only hope that every soldier with the 1/25th Stryker Brigade Combat Team has an equally happy homecoming. And I hope that the new soldiers with the 3/2 SBCT coming into Warhorse now work to help the Iraqis of Diyala Province - it's going to take a lot of work by all involved to return the area to its former prosperity.
For those curious what will happen to this blog, there's still quite a bit of material to be posted here, so I expect we'll have new stuff for you for at least a week or so. We'll probably do a couple more pieces for Alaska Dispatch too, so don't tune out quite yet.
It was an amazing month, and I hope you all enjoyed our coverage. It was an honor to be able to bring some of Diyala back home for you.

ReplyDeleteProbable trying to start something with you, remember girls can like more then one guy at once, try 4 her if you want... over time she will either stop liking the other guys or break up with you
ReplyDeleteIts worth a try, cuz its not like when your going out with some one your stuck with them forever, if it doesn't work you just break up
I’m really delighted to have joined up with the online community and I will be looking forward to meeting along with you within here in time
