I am a few hours ahead of you all. I want to take a minute and tell you all Happy New Year! I hope that 2004 is a banner year for you all. For me it means I am one more milestone away from returning home.

I do miss basketball, but I enjoy the banter here. It helps me with my sanity. Brad Thanks for keeping this site up.

Have a Great 2004! and maybe I will be able to work with some of you soon!

Thanks

Just out of curiosity where are you at as it sounds like you are looking forward to returning home and basketball?

I am with the US forces in Iraq.

Thank you, God Bless You, and God Speed you back home.

Thanks, Kelvin.
And, thanks, Kelvin !

Thanks, I wondered if that would be the answer. My thanks to you. My son is with the national guard here in Seattle having served his time in the Army in the Honor Guard at the White House. He got called up and is training now to leave for Iraq. While he hates leaving wife and two children, one only a couple of months old he takes his role quite seriously. My profound desire for your safety and speedy return.
