I got the best letter today from Dusty and thought I would share part of it, it makes me so proud of him and all of our troops so far from home. Made my heart just swell with so much pride in all they are trying to accomplish. There is no one I would be more honored ro share it with than you here. I have had the damn flu and have really been off...but this made my day
"I sit around and think what you are thinking about, (you know , are you all proud of me?) I am for the first time in my life. I think that I am actually doing something that is bigger then me, something that might actually make life better for someone, more than for myself or even someone I know. There are millions of people over here that actually have a future , it may not be f*****g shangrila but someday it might be better. I really dont give a s*** about WMD. I 've been talking to the Iraq people around here and almost all of them think the hardship is worth it, if their children and their childrens children might have a chance. It definently humbles me"
