Boots on ground...
Well, Chris is officially back in Baghdad. He called a couple of times today and sounded so good. I'm missing him like crazy. Only three more months... We had such a wonderful time for the two weeks he was here, and it was so touching to hear Jackson call him Da Da. Jackson just wakes up and ask for his Da Da now. I tell him that Da Da went Bye Bye for a while. He now saws Da Da Bye Bye. Just keep my man in your prayers!

Glad you guys got some good time together. The real question is, did he like his pictures?
LOVED THEM! heehee
Thanks for the comment - Yes, no one understands it, I used to laugh with someone about the following comments (below are my own responses that I'd love to tell someone sometimes)
"Gosh, I don't think I could do what you're doing"
-my response: oh, there's like some sort of "choice" here? It's kind of like having a child with a disability - you either do it or you're a shithead...I didn't wake up and go 'okay, today I'm gonna go find me a guy who's going off for a year and a half to play with guns for the fourth time!'
"Has he killed anyone?"
-my response: that's what we talk about ALL the time. I mean every day, it's our chatter. Because PTSD is a barrel of monkeys.
"Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?"
-yes, I've also seen The Wizard of Oz, but that doesn't mean I'm off to the Emerald City.
"We're only over there for oil, you know"
-well, do me a favor and quit shouting about it, because it decreases morale. I'll go over to your job and broadcast how your work is all in vain and we'll see how great your productivity is.
"We're never going to win."
-Good thing you weren't in WWII, or I'd be calling you Friedrich, asshole.
"you know, I heard you should send them silly string..."
-yes, we've heard it too. I'm coming to the conclusion that this was a rumor started by a bored-as-hell army unit who wanted a silly string fight. I sent everything, and the most well-received items were actually the victoria's secret catalog, but hey, send what you want.
"don't you ever worry about him getting hurt?"
-what? they can get HURT? no shit. I'd rather get him home in a wheelchair than a bodybag, but yes, I worry.
oh I could go ON and ON!
