Flight Pundit

If you have not seen Michael Yon’s blog you should. also subscribe to his emails for when he posts.
I just got this not which is a small part of why I read his information.

Greetings:

I hope the long weekend in America goes well. Lots of picnics, cookouts and good times. And especially the fireworks! The kids will love those!

I attended a memorial at Camp Fallujah today for six of our fallen who died last week from a car bombing. One sailor and five Marines were lost. There will be a small dispatch about that in the next day or so.

I just posted a new dispatch from Baghdad. The fighting goes on, but troop morale continues to be very high. Please make sure to email your favorite person in Iraq this weekend. (Not me! I get enough already; I mean the troops and civilians working here.) The folks here love to hear from home and to know you care. And they talk for months about incidents where a civilian randomly stops them at an airport with a “thank you.” Those random “thank yous” go a long way for the morale of the troops, so please thank a veteran this weekend if you get the chance. I know I’ll sure be thanking a lot more WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and other vets in the years ahead. Good grief. They really had fights on their hands.

New dispatch at: www.michaelyon.blogspot.com

Respectfully,

Michael

God Bless America
