				| My 22 year old niece arrived in Baghdad yesterday to teach English.  She is a vollunteer with a non-profit group that has a long history in the area (She grew up in the region).  I ask for your prayers for her and ask you to be encouraged that there are young people who are not intimidated by either the terrorists or the nay sayers. |

				my nephew is also in the region - he's USAF though not a civilian. She is very brave to be a young woman going into that area. It is hard to think we were that young and daring once too. _________________ "The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I’m here to help."

				My #3 Son-in-Law just re-uped yesterday in Bagdad...then went out
 
on patrol right afterwards.  He should be getting really short in 
 
country though. _________________ Tin Can Sailor |
