Pro Deo Et Patria- An Army Chaplain

I am a chaplain in the US Army, serving in Iraq. I'm keeping a blog to share my thoughts and experiences while deployed. They are my thoughts and they don't necessarily reflect the opinions of the US Army! :)

Staying Up With News

My blog is far less interesting now that Im home. That's fine with me. :) I've been relaxing, working on some projects at home, and preparing for some trips. My wife, the boys and I are heading to Minnesota to go to the state fair and catch a couple of Vikings games. My wife and I also have a trip planned just for ourselves.

On a different note, I want to provide links to a few interesting articles. The first is the most amazing:

SPC Alison K.: "I guess I've Done My Duty:"
http://wes-downrange.blogspot.com/2007/08/spec-alison-k-i-guess-ive-done-my-duty.html
(note: this young Soldier he writes about was stationed at Rustamiyah, where I was for part of my tour)

"Liberal Congressman Say Troops Have Earned More Time"
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/opinion/2003850954_bairdop24.html
This congressman is critical of the war and voted against it, but believes things are getting better. Interesting read, though I disagree with much of his philosophy on Iraq

G.I. Joe- No longer an AMERICAN Hero? Say it isn't so....
http://wizbangblog.com/content/2007/08/25/gi-joe-real-american-hero-no-more.php
I grew up playing with G.I. Joes in the '80s, and I cannot fathom a G.I. Joe based in Brussels, Belgium.

I watched your blog and e-mailed it.
I am a Japanese of 32 years old.
In Saipan of Micronesia, I do work of Malin sports now.
The English is clumsy, too.
I am studying English now.

Oneself likes the military.
Oneself likes the world peace, too.

Oneself aims for becoming the soldier of the strongest United States Armed
Forces in the world now.
I want American nationality.
I acquire a green card and want to become a soldier.
If there is the method that can enter the green card acquisition or the
United States Armed Forces by a skillful method, please teach it.

If there is the person of "the green card soldier" among the soldiers who
are in Iraq and Afghanistan, I want you to introduce it to me.
I want information of a soldier and the green card acquisition.
Please teach a site or a bulletin board if you know it.
