You have to read this....

I have been following John in Iraq for a few months now. It is amazing to get a soldier's eye view of life in Iraq. John is just one of thousands of men and women who are working to make my life better and make the world better.

John's posts are funny, sad, scary, touching, amazing and insightful. I implore you to go to his blog now and read from SFC. Wood to the top. It is about 9 posts - but they are well worth reading. If you are like me and read *really* slowly - feel free to skip my whiny blog for a few days and just read John's. It is worth it and it will amaze you.
