Friends & Family,
Please forgive me for not staying better in touch.
I’ve finally settled into a routine here at Camp Fallujah. I spent Easter morning with injured Marines at the small medical facility here. April has been horrible – several attacks and accidents. Brought them Easter candy and sat and talked for a while. Attached is a picture with a Marine who was injured in a rocket attack a few days ago while building new barracks for Iraqi Soldiers—it’s a blurry picture, but still worth a thousand words.
I’ve been able travel quite a bit so far…one week at Camp Blue Diamond and one week at Al Asad covering stories. Camp BD is a small camp located along the Euphrates River. Sadaam built some palaces there and now it’s the HQTRS for various US/Iraqi troops.
Went on a 4 1/2 hour foot patrol with new Iraqi Army soldiers near Ramadi while there…..great video…but proof that we have a LONG way to go before they are ready to stand on their own. My stories are airing on the Pentagon Channel/AFN and posted to various websites.
I’ve seen dozens of Marines and Sailors I’ve known throughout the years here in Iraq. It’s great to see familiar faces…old roommates, boyfriends and bosses….people I’ve known for 12 or 13 years. Plus, making new friends and meeting great people from all over the world.
Check our website for the Camp Fallujah 2-Minute Report at the site listed below.
It’s one of my science projects here - testing web-based Video-On-Demand reporting….
Hope all is well with you,
Best regards,
