Aloha from northern Iraq. Hello to my lovely wife, Mayi, and to Mama and Papa. We’re all doing fine and everyone’s in good health. Please keep us in your prayers. Freedom isn’t free. It’s paid for with the sweat and blood of our soldiers and the tears of the families left behind. From our Army family to yours, have a blessed Lenten season to all. Malama na koa, a hui hou. Mahalo. From the fighting men of Bravo Battery, 1-62 ADA, hoo-ah!
