Last post of the day, and I will let you get on your way. I met with my friend a little while ago. He is leaving with his family soon to hopefully get them away from here. I will sorely miss them though. I will miss the little girl's smile and watching her face light up whenever we see them. I will miss the conversations that we had and the little visits. The little girl was worried that I would forget her. I told her that she is not in my mind, but in my heart and the heart never forgets. God bless them all and speed them away from this place of destitution and destruction. Keep them safe so that they may live and grow up in a place of freedom, peace and safety. They will be missed, but I look forward to the day when I can see them all again.

Jay, your posts are informative and inspiring. I'm sure you know by know that your blog is linked on some very well visited web sites. Keep up the good work!
Hi Jay,
Thanks for all you and your soldiers do for us and our families. Your a God-Send to be so open and honest about the things that are going on in Iraq. However, your always telling about you, how about your family back home. How are they doing and coping with this seperation? Keep up the good work and your in our prayers always

Thanks very much for the sacrifices that you and your troops are doing in order to bring about a democratic Iraq. I found your blog by way of another and agree that your blogging has much merit.I enjoy your views.Hope that the Kerry problem in PA is not true, likewise on the shreading of registrations.Military Police have a function. Iraqi children will hopefully be a source of strength for Iraqs freedom.Becarful of too much Burger King(look where it got Clinton)!I reaaly never thought about the fact that there has not been a female soldier killed, now I wonder what our great Congress whould have to say if there ever is a death!! The only question I have about this conflict in Iraq is why is it that with the military strength of the US we didn't use it full potential to end this conflict sooner. Granted the collatereal damage would have been staggering, but isn't that what war is about? Oh well, guess I will never get an answer.Once again thanks for what ya do and watch your back...Will;Utica,NY
Jay, I am very moved by your posts. You seem like a compassionate and caring person. I'm glad there are people like you over there to represent us. :)
Your story about the family really touched me.
Forgive me if this sounds ignorant,but I thought the whole point of us being there was to make for them a place of freedom, peace and safety. Is it going to happen?
Thank you for sharing your experiences there. It's refreshing to read something other than what the government chooses to tell us, what the media chooses to print, or what the politicians are arguing over.
A friend linked here from her website. I'll have to thank her.
God be with you!

Jay, please check out my offer for GIs and their Families. I am in full support of Allied efforts in Iraq, and I'm in support of Boots on the Ground.
I'm offering to record family's songs for their GI or GI's songs, for their family. I'll send the CDs where they tell me.
I'm not asking for your buy in, other than posting a link on your weblog, please.
