The writing is on the wall according to a just released news report. The largest movement of manpower and equipment in military history is starting to leave Iraq; Brig. Gen. Heidi Brown is in charge of the withdrawal. They are packing tanks to radios out in what will the first step to move 60% of the equipment out of Iraq by the end of next March.
This is time to reinforce due diligence in combat readiness and awareness. You over there cannot be distracted from your normal mindset during these times. Do not become a last day of the war statistic!

Things back home are still summer based, as bike riders get in their summer trips and rides. Sport venues are busy, and the new casino next to Heinz Stadium is doing just fine separating hard earned money from those who earned it. The Steelers are two and one in the preseason; they beat the Bills on Saturday. The news media is filled with chaos as Washington debates the Health Care issues. There are many summer movies that are well worth a viewing when you get back. Today, I went to see “(500) Days of Summer.” It is a wonderful film, along with other summer releases like “The Ugly Truth” that is grown up romantic comedy. I am confident you will find a film that suits your taste this summer or fall.
Regardless of what your interests are, there are still a lot of wonderful things to do here in South Western Pennsylvania upon your return. We are home to two World Championship teams, Super Bowl Champs, and Stanley Cup Champs. The bad news is the Pirates. who are taking a beating this season—there is always the cliché, wait until next year! The football season looks promising, as well as the Hockey season … more reason to look forward to coming back home. Again, with due diligence! There is no room for distraction over there!
I leave you with a few images from a bike ride we did near Indiana Pennsylvania
Keep your head down,
