He's back!

And he's bald! Completely. twoLoA does not like it, but Glenda and I think it looks good on him. Bald is in, you know.

Anyway, he and twoLoA took off for Abilene after a scant 30 minutes or so at home. Tomorrow they are off to Cloudcroft where they will stay till Tuesday when LoA has to be in El Paso for processing out. I still think it's silly for him to have to do that, he should've been able to just leave the gear in iraq. Besides, we are talking about pants and t-shirts! It's not like he's returning guns or grenades!

From LoA:



"I thought you might like this picture. I think it is the first one I have
sent back to the states.

This will be the last email from me until I get home. I have to wait for our PAO to get
back and give me the CD of the picturers she took at the awards get
together. I hope they just went to supper. I want to leave in another 30
minutes so Tom can take me and get back to the Villas by 2130 or so.
I saw on the news that they had more killings in Iraq today. I also heard
that 4 bombs were placed on NOC property by one of the gates we always used
in Kirkuk. Two went off and two had to be disarmed. Maybe it is good that
I am coming home.

-Lewis"

Check out The Command Post. It's a good site for news about Iraq. Wish I'd found it sooner.


Only 2 more days till LoA is back on American soil!

Then maybe a week or two till the Mother of All BBQs!

LoA flew into Kuwait this morning, about 3:30 AM our time. He'll hang out in Camp Doha for the rest of the week, then fly back to the states Saturday.

He said he has about 2000 pictures. I don't think we can post them all up here, but we'll pick some of the better ones. Most of then I think can be put on a DVD and shown on the TV.
