Busy

I apologize for not sending out an update for a few weeks. I've been very busy working on some stuff in which I can't divulge in this forum...since I don't/can't have photos from my recent events, I have substituted a photo taken a couple of weeks ago.



Enjoying a Cuban with my Aussie and Turk friends.

Three Cups of Tea

If you haven't read "Three Cups of Tea", I strongly recommend that you do so at once. It's required reading for all officers in USFOR-A. It offers a wonderful insight to the Pashto People. Available at your local bookstore or library.




I love the giggler on the end.




Not in keeping with the 3 cups theme, but a great photo nonetheless.

Humbled

Today was the most rewarding day that I can remember.

I had the opportunity to visit a school for the deaf and those with special needs. Words cannot describe the excitement that those children displayed as our group of US and NATO servicemen and women distributed school backpacks containing pens, pencils, paper, and other miscellaneous school supplies. We also distributed blankets, coats, shoes, etc., which were to be distributed later by the teachers based on need. The best part is we also passed out 20 foot balls (soccer balls). I spent over an hour playing footie (soccer) with the boys and girls.



We couldn't have made this trip without the donations from people like you.

This is how we win wars.




We won't win this war with our tactics or weapon systems. To win this war, we need to put our our soft covers, and meet with the people.
