Talking Made it home alive from Iraq!!!!

I finally made it back to kansas from Iraq. It was a very intresting experince something that has defenilty changed my life for the better. There are so many things that i will never take for granted ever again. I have never felt so good in my life to get out of there I can't even discribe it. Iraq is a really dirty, very poor country and the people I met where very grateful for us freeing them. Seeing the smiles on the kids faces when they ran up to you really made you feel good. We really did good things for those people over there and I am very proud to have been a part of it, but I am alot happier now that I am back in the US.

Cool

about time you got your lazy but back here, lounging in the vacation spot of the world, hot and cold running dictators seeing to your every whim....

good to have you back in the required one piece. you all did a bang up job over there, and dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

by the way, saying you are back alive is redundant as it is hard to access the internet from a coffin, though i understand microsoft is working on that little problem.

Thumbs up

From one Vet to Another!

Welcome Home Soldier!

THANKS for Serving in the Armed Forces and Protecting Our Great Nation!! You and your buddy's a GREATLY Appreciated for the Sacrifices you have made!

I recently (April 1st 2003) Retired from the USAF myself. I honestly have to tell you.... I miss it already.... Our Military today is TOP NOTCH in EVERY regard!!

The Commradery and Professionalism I experienced while in the USAF are Second to Non and I'm CERTAIN it's the same feeling in the other branches as well.

Hey anyways.... Did you see any old American Cars over there in IRAQ ??

Any old junk yards with Boss 429s in them ??

Thank you to everyone for the kind words. It feels good to come home to a nice reception.

Iraq doesn't have any old mustangs just a bunch of blown up tanks and buildings. Kuwait is full of mustangs mostly 94-98 there are some foxes running around there too though.

I was wondering what happend to u.

Glad u made it back alright.

I was begining to worry about u, I havn't, till now heard from u. While u were there, I wasn't too far away, just next door to ya. Saudi Arabia, and then another one which I still can't say where. There are a few mustangs around, I only saw 1 fox, real nice one too. one new one, but most around 94'-'98.
