Just a former US soldier who served 2 combat tours in Iraq as well as an additional tour as a Federal Civilian. These are my thoughts on life, family, the Army, and other insights. ****DISCLAIMER**** ALL opinions expressed on this blog are those of myself in my private capacity and not as a representative of the DoD, DA, or any particular element of the Government.

Thanks for sharing the beauty you see with your eyes & with your heart. As an old Vietnam-anti-war protester, it give me enormous hope to know such a spirit as yours hasn't been killed by this terrible war. Our prayers are with you & your family. PKMatthews & family
It's a beautiful photo, Zach. I came to your blog via Operation Truth; I'm the daughter of a military man (he died 7 years ago, veteran of WWII,and Korea), sister of a vet (who escaped combat, thank god), granddaughter of a world war I vet. I am also wholly against this war, and wholly holding all the troops, and the people of Iraq,in my thoughts. My father cried in his last days about how often he was gone from his kids. I told him he'd done the best he could, the best he knew how to do. I hope it consoled him a little. He died peacefully, in his 70's, in my arms. Please live to see your little boy a strong man, and your girl a strong woman--and let's hope this nation comes to its senses. Hang on.
