Just wanted to say good bye to all as I leave tomorrow for Iraq. Been alot of fun diving and meeting with some of you and I very much look forward to it when I get back.
This will more than likely be my last post for awhile so all please get wet for me.
See you all when I get back.
Duane

Godspeed and be safe. Oh, and thank you for serving. I just wish it could be stateside.

God Bless and Thanks. My daughter and son in-law just got back from the sand box over there. Keep safe.

Duane, we will be here when you get back. It was great to meet you and I wish you a speedy and productive deployment. I really believe in what you all are doing for the Iraqi's struggle for democracy and hear stories confirming this almost every day. Your job is so important in the grand scheme and I am so thankful there are men like you willing to contribute to the world in this way. Keep your eye on the ball,
(70% turned out to vote!) and thank you very much. Here, I am making you a going away card! Hope you can see the hope they have.

Another dive buddy gone. As he leaves, I get to come home. Time for home leave so Im leaving for home until this fall.
Be safe my friend, keep your head down and eyes open.
If anybody is wondering, what we are doing here is a good thing. It will be long but it will be worth while. I am in a unique possition as i get to talk to Iraqis on a daily basis. I ask them questions, I get there ideas and opinions. Almost universal, things are better now except for the violence which is coming from Syria and Iran. They are glad we are here and will be glad when we can leave....I wrote a story about last weeks attack on our base. I won't post it here as it has political topics in it. If you would like to see it, PM me and i will send it to you. It has been very popular to share with the people I have sent it to. maybe I should be a reporter? LOL

Remember to thank the troops!
