A friend's boy has been to Iraq twice and back. Yes, tomorrow is the day
to give him a hug. I still remember holding him in my arms as a new born
child. I gave him a computer when he went to high school. The next thing
I found out was he was in Iraq when the war was started. Then I realized
that he has been there the 2nd time and back. Now he is a college boy.

He drove a tank when he was there. I asked him about the tank he said he felt
very safe whenever he was driving. I used to think my Vanagon is like a tank.
I guess it is no match to a real Abram tank.
