Here is a magnificent blog by the 2nd Brigade Combat Team of the 28th Infantry Division, currently deployed in Ramadi, Iraq. This team is comprised of 5500 soldiers, Marines, Sailors and Airmen from over 33 different states. Also training and supporting approximately 4,000 Iraqi Security forces
"Some people ask what is the hardest thing to deal with here. Is it the dangers that exist? The separation from loved ones is the hardest thing to deal with. We all love and miss our families and friends. Losing comrades is also tough and our thoughts and prayers always go out to the loved ones of our fallen warriors."
As a Brigade Commander he reports that the troops display a tremendous resolve and are even more determined than ever to put forth great effort in order to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. A very light and enjoyable blog indeed. A Great Memorial Day to the "2BCT"! Here's to hoping you get some "dawgs" on the grill before the week is through! -Mix
