Happy New Year

Happy New Year from the Middle East.  I am sitting here recalling all the activities I have accomplished in 2011; Training for this deployment, all the miles traveled to and from, the Central Valley, home station, Fort Hunter Liggett, and mob station in Texas;  All the quality time with my family and friends; and hopefully stronger and wiser as the year comes to a close.  With this deployment, I have had the opportunity to meet some outstanding soldiers, who are now friends.  I am also thankful that this deployment is coming to a close rapidly.  I am proud to be an American.  So with that, let's bring in the New Year and start some new activities.
