A good freind of mine, Billy Hoke went to Iraq to help build power plants. He was a Paramedic and personnel safety rep for the company he worked for. I worked with him as a medik and knew few people with the upbeat attitude he had. I guess he decided to go for the gold and went to the land of sand and bugs. Bill was in the third SUV that got blown up last year when 13 contractors got killed. Bill probably never knew what hit him but his wife and kids do.

For me, it's just not worth it. I've got a son over there and he has instructions to not come out after dark or when there's things goin on that don't need to be goin on. I asked his commander if he could just teach arts and crafts to blind kids and he told me that would be ok. One of the kids who graduated with the oldest son was in that Bradley that found a roadside bomb two days ago. The one we blew up with a rocket to keep the weapons from reaching bad folks? He's ok. . . .got a free flight to Germany to tend to a sore leg. He'll be back though. . .for a lot less than a hundred grand. Ya gott love these kids.
