Default Nothing to do with wood carving but really beautiful

Hi Gang,
I came across this today and thought that you might enjoy it. Evidently written by a serving soldier man in the middle east.

Excellent presentation... takes those of us who have been there back in time. Different uniforms, different location but the same faces, the same thoughts. There are some things that time never changes. No matter how we feel about the war back here in the states those guys and gals on the other side of the globe are united in their cause, taking care of each other and thoughts of the families that they had to leave behind. God's Speed to them all!

Thanks for passing this along. I've already sent it to everyone I know. After being repeatedly brainwashed by a one-sided media, it's good to hear (and see) things from a soldier's perspective because there really is a LOT more good than bad going on in Iraq and Afghanistan but we never hear about that 99 percent of the story!

God bless all the soldiers and the coalition "of the willing".
