ON THE WAY... After nearly four weeks of preparations, I am finally on my way to Iraq. I am writing this entry from a wifi spot in the Chicago airport en route to California. I will be there for a couple days picking up some additional gear and checking into Camp Pendleton's I MEF (the Marine Corps' 1st Marine Expeditionary Force), which is the senior Marine command in Iraq right now. More soon... thanks to everyone for their ongoing support and interest.

God bless you...you'll be in my prayers. I've got you, Mike Fay, and Kristopher Battles right up there on my Bookmark Toolbar. Two Marine Combat Artists and a Marine Historian. You guys are fascinating. You have all of my respect and gratitude. Can't wait to read your posts. Thank you, and I thank your family also.
Thanks for your service and let all the troops over there know that We the People are most grateful for their service and sacrifice.
