THE WELCOME PHONE CALL

I mentioned at the outset today that I was on edge due to CPT Patti's requirement to be out and about in Baghdad.

She just called. Back "home" and safe. She called as soon as she got back, just as she promised she would. Problem was, that was five hours after she told me to expect her call.

And among the convoys associated with their outing today, two IEDs went off. Minor scratches are the worst of the injuries, thanks to God and the very poor timing of the bastards who exploded the bombs.

CPT Patti was not injured.

That was how her day went. And mine. I sincerely hope you had a better day than we did.

I can't take many more like this one.
