Free at last, free at last thank God almighty I am free at last!! Well I finally made it hoe after a sixteen day stay in Hawaii for demobilization. People may find this hard to understand but we "Cross level soldiers" hated it in Hawaii. Eighty percent of the people in the unit were home and feeling pretty good but us Mainland, Samoa and Guamanian guys were still waiting to see our families. I can't express how good it feels to be home and realize I don't have to go back to Iraq. I thank God for giving me a new chance at life and the chance to experience the last year.

All in all it was a good life experience and I was honored to serve with so many fantastic people. I will soon start making entries that I was pressured into avoiding and giving some real insight into what has happened in the last twelve months. I will write of a "Hero" ignored and of many "Heros" that aren't. I will give isnsight on exactly how something like "Abu Grahb" could hapeen and try to hold those REALLY responsible accountable. I will share some very personal reasons for my entries and detail some very dissapointing things that happened.

I did not make alot of entries in Jan simply because I was worried about the realiation from those in a posistion to troment me. I will explain later. right now I have a sunset over the Pacific to catch.
