4th of JULY



So while most of you this year enjoyed your usual 4th of July norms, I did something a little more exciting. Instead of fire works, BBQ's and parades I traveled up North. There was a large Reenlistment ceremony being held up there and I took 13 of my Soldiers to participate in this. For those of you who don't know when you join the Army or other Armed Forces it is for a conditional length of time. All these Soldiers were nearing the end of their term of agreement and decided to reenlist or extend their time. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was held in one of Saddams palaces.

By the way Aunt Carolyn this is where we left our dear Cam in this beautiful palace. For those of you who don't know who Cam is, he is our cousin that passed away some years ago and our Aunt has had pictures of him sent all over the world. The one previous to this was left in my home country of South Africa so it just seems fit that I was honored enough to get the next picture. Thank you Carolyn.



The week was ended off in the most beautiful sunset
