I am very very proud of Stonewall because he had a Wall Street Journal quote of the day the other week. I wish I could post the quote and article, but I can't because the article gives more personal information than what Stonewall wants posted on this blog. Long story short though, Stonewall and several Soldiers in his unit worked with an Iraq Army (IA) logistics platoon on training on how to move their own convoys and do their own logistics. Stonewall and another American Soldier were both quoted as saying how successful the training went, how motivated the IA is and how it was a great way to build a relationship between the Armies. From what Stonewall tells me, both sides of that relationship were incredibly pleased with how things went.
I just don't understand why stories like this aren't used more in the media. The public gripes and gripes and gripes that American Soldiers in Iraq is nothing but bad, yet when there's a story that proves we are doing some amazingly good things over there, the media ignores it. Yet, they'll give front page coverage to the Obama's choice of first dog.

That's a big pet peeve of mine as well. :) I'm glad you're getting to skype. It's amazing how well Daddy and baby can bond through video and telephone -- My son only knew Daddy through short visits, and electronic media for the first 14 months, and now they are best of buds! (He's 2 1/2 now)
Isnt Obama's new dog important though? lol jk.
It makes me sad to hear all the good things and then they are never shared. J told me about a playground they have been building for the kids...I would never know without him tleling me. Sad.
