Reflecting.......

As I get ready to leave the country that I love this song came to mind.  Hopefully, my team's efforts will help to lead to a more stable country.  One in which their own countryman can provide the safety that as humans we all deserve.  I Pray however, that ONE DAY, we can live in a more peaceful world.

I also want to take this time to say THANK YOU.  Many times in the past 10 years, strangers and friends alike have expressed their appreciation for what I do and I am grateful for that.  But the true thanks go to each of you.  If I didn't have a family that loved, friends that cared, and a nation that was appreciative then I couldn't do this.  I do what I do because of each of you, I do it because I believe in our country and the freedoms we have, I sacrifice myself so that my children and the children of our future don't have to grow up with violence in their lives like so many other children of this would have to.  So thank you for being you, for supporting your troops, and for understanding what we do.

As an FYI, this will be my last post until I arrive in country.
