Hi to my wife, Amy, and to Austin and Alexis. I’m doing fine here in Afghanistan. It doesn’t bother me to be here because I realize if I wasn’t here doing this, then my family wouldn’t be able to live a free life back home. The conditions here are fine — the food’s great and we get to see snow, rain and sun all in the same day, so it’s unique. It’s an experience. I love you. We’ll go to Disney World when I get home.
