Z-P Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Our good buddy "ZipDude" sent me this note..............and after some editing on my part to maintain annonymity, here it is:I wanted to close this chapter and the loop and let you know that after (some amount) days in the hell known as Baghdad, Iraq, (his daughter) returned home. She is coming (home) next week and I cannot wait to see her. Although we have only talked on the phone, she did not get injured (other than a 20 hour cramped trip on an airplane that used to be owned by the singer/actress JLo), she is ok. She has tales of danger (unexploded mortars fired into the “Green Zone” and then once they figured out where they were, rockets), grateful she does not need to carry a pistol on her hip, and I am certain pictures galore. She does not have to go back unless she wants to and in order for that to happen, she says the financial incentives have to be “out of sight”. She also has a completely different attitude about the “region” and the people who live there as well as an opinion as to our leaders in Washington who voted to pull the rug out from underneath our military forces. Thank you for your prayers and thoughtsWhen she went some time ago, I remember quite a few of us wishing our UA Booster Buddy and his family good luck..............This is better news than a "W" over Can't State I'll bet for him! Me too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip-zip Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Great News. Let's also pray that some of our newer elected officials in Congress wake up soon and stop playing politics with funding for our troops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheZone Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Great news ! i will pray that the new house members will make sure we bring home our troops. I think that's what she meant by those attempting to "pull the rug out from under" our troops. Every troop that I have spoken to who's been to Iraq and joined the military for the right reasons does not want to quit the fight now. God bless those serving who, unless a select few in Washington choose to cut 'n run now, will have accomplished something in their lifetime that is truely monumental.
