The Last Day in my 20's!!!

What to do with the last day in my twenties. I took a trip to the IZ to try to chase down a photo Matt had taken three years ago. The photo above is of me at the famous parade grounds in
Baghdad. This is the location that Saadam would have his troops march back and forth. The video of him shooting the rifle is in a press box in the background. There are two crossed sabers on each end of the grounds. It is a safe place.

So the story is three years ago Matt sent me a photo with this same sign on our birthday. I searched ALL of Baghdad and found it on the last day. Happy Birthday Bro, you still rock, this palace was hard to find!!!!!

Ok, Mom you are not allowed to read this one.... Twice when we were up there we took incoming. They have bunkers everywhere. Above is the first time, this time we luckily were about twenty yards from one and scurried over. The second time we were about fifty yards, I have never moved so fast in my life.

This is my buddy Tom and I as were were getting ready to leave, that is actually him smiling. He is a cool dude. Two guys in the back of a Excursion getting ready to roll, what fun.
