is going back to Iraq Sunday.  I told him his blog got top spot and that everyone was supporting him.  He said that meant alot to him.  He doesn't get much support while he is over there.  We at work send the three of them packages of non-perishable stuff that they can use(I always wanted to send a Playboy or something but I know that is immature).  He said they like and appreciate that.  We just small talked about things for a bit(I was with some other people at the same time).  But after he broke off I got the chance to ask him if he got to kill any of them.  He said "oh yeah we've put a few of them at room temperature.  We've still got more to go, though."  I told him why I categorized them as "terrorists" and he agreed. "Thats exactly what they are". 

His regiment, the 278th, are scheduled to be back home sometime around November.  It will be great to have all of them back.   And from what I am hearing, there should be an altogether troop scale back beginning sometime in 2006.  I think everyone wants that.
