Burst message from Patrol Base LMC

I've got a few minutes of uninterrupted Internet access and still remember the challenge and password that gets me into other people's blogs. Yours truly is alive and well in Kansas finishing up training before we go on leave, and head off on that all-inclusive travel package to the "cradle of civilization" to help the good guys fight the bad guys. Robbo, thanks for the Christmas poem--it's great. The support I have gotten from family, friends, co-workers, and strangers who see a soldier far from home means more than I will ever be able to adequately express. Keep all who serve in your prayers--we need and appreciate them.
