Hi to my wife, Monique; my son, Maurice; daughter, Mikayla; and my nieces and nephews. I’m fine, but I miss you. Hello to my family and friends at the James Campbell National Wildlife Refuge. In life, one door opens when one door closes. I kind of like it over here. The culture is very interesting, and I take time out to try to learn the language and way they live. I’d like to come away from Iraq with a lot more understanding of myself and people in general.
