Yes it is 6:16. In the AM. Havent slept in 24 hours. Awesome. I know. I jut bedded down the kiddies and will get some sleep so don't worry. I know my limits and im not even close, lol. Plus we had some fun last night. Anyway, I digress. I kind of wanted to write this so whoever reads it knows what soldiers go through. I mean I can't get into specifics, but You saw what I wrote on the last blog and here I am again some umpteen hours later letting you know my guys just pulled an all nighter. They didnt complain, they didn't whine. No one asked me "why us?". They did it in the most dangerous city in Iraq and then they came back, reset, and bedded down till I wake them up again for another go. That is something to be proud of. I dont care who you are, where you come from, or what you prescribe to. What I have just described is who you have watching your back so you can simply go about your everyday lives, esentially "doing you" as I like to call it. When you see a Soldier or Sailor, Marine or Airperson, just say thank you or hello or just a smile. Anyone of those things and even just a slight head nod at times make all what we do worth ever second of it.
Much Love,
CR

I'm glad you're keeping up with the blog. I'm an official follower, so it's easy for me to check! I hope you're resting well now. I'll feel guilty getting 8 hours of sleep tonight. Be safe!
