"We are in the rear tonight pulling rear guard for our convoy. I face rearward as I sit in the gunners turret as we pass BIAP, using my night vision goggles (NVG's) to peer into the darkness creating the familiar green world I have come to know so well this past year.

I flip the goggle up in its helmet mount then stand up and turn around to face forward. Up front is a large orange flash in the blackness that backlights a bridge. Its there for an instant then dissapears into the night."
