I want to say I love you to my wife, Leslie, and to my family and friends, thank you for all your support. I would also like to say thanks to the 29th Brigade Combat Team family support group for all the things you did for us. Iraq is a very hot place where you learn not to take things for granted, and also learn more about yourself and your comrades. You can push yourself to the limits and you know your buddy next to you is doing the same. I hope when we leave here, we’ve shared our love and aloha with everyone we met.
