Update from Iraq


Well, I thought I would do a quick update on how Eric is doing. He made it to Baghdad safely and has been there for a little over a week now. After leaving South Carolina, where they were training, the flew to Ireland and had a stopover there and then to Kuwait. In Ireland, when they were stopped, he had a chance to meet the Secretary of the Navy, that is the picture above--Eric, another JAG officer that he knows and the Secretary of the Navy. That was really exciting. After getting to Kuwait, they spent a week there, and then he went to Baghdad and is at Camp Victory where he will spend the rest of his time. We have gotten the chance to talk several times, he can call me from work, and we have gotten to webcam twice. It was so great seeing him and so hard to believe that he was in Iraq! Also, other exciting news, he got to see President Bush this past weekend when he visited. Overall, he is doing wonderful and if you would like you can e-mail him or I have a mailing address for him. If anyone needs those, just e-mail me. Thanks for all your prayers and support as he is serving our country over there! Go USA and hopefully Eric will write on the blog one of these days--hint, hint!!

I'm glad to hear he's doing well. That's nice that you can talk so often, and do the webcam thing!
