Happy 4th of July everybody! Please be sure and have a drink (even soda) on me. I can't have any(well I can have soda) so have some for me. They have events planned for us today but it is also a work day so I am not sure how much I will get to see. Besides someone will give their all on the sports field and run into one of the cement walls surrounding it and have to come into the hospital for care. Groundhog days were broken up this week. I got to give a speech to a bunch of young officers to convince them to do my speciality in the Army. I decided to break from the norm of standing in front talking and turned it into a big ole' catch their attention speech. I had 3 come up to me afterwards to say they wanted to sign up. So it worked I think. It was also my anniversary this week. It sucks that I was here for it but it will be one I always remember...next year I miss it too. Everybody say it with me..."Damn!!!"

Breathing this shit can't be healthy? I don't run outside when it looks like this. I only get the treadmill on these days. I am going to start something new I am calling, "My latest nightmare" look for it. It is those little things that get me frustrated or drive me crazy that I am not sure why the hell it is the way it is. Like, why does the port-a-potty have to smell so frickin bad every time I have to go? The sad thing is these are not as bad as some I have been in.

Hang in there Chris! Thanks for serving our great country and keeping us free. Thanks also for your funny and interesting aspect on life in the sandbox.
Ran the Peachtree 10K this morning and thought of you and the rest of our soldiers over in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'll drink a beer in your honor. Happy 4th of July!

Hey Chris,
I have a Petrone margarita with your name on it! Thanks to you and to everyone else over there for living in such "crappiness" so that those of us back home can celebrate our independence on this day. I know the only day Bobbi will be celebrating is the day you come home. Be safe!

Thanks for having one for me.
ldfdadHey Chris,
Took the kids to the Edmond, Oklahoma parade this weekend. Believe it or not (I don't believe it) it is rated in the top 10 of the country. Anyway, we had a number of military in the parade...at one point Lily, my 6 year old, asked why I was crying and then proceeded to tell me to stop, I was embarassing her...but I couldn't help but to think how warped / crazy this whole situation is...I am sitting in a chair, drinking a soda, thinking I am hot (95 degrees) and then you are overseas. Thinking of you a lot!
