A Contractor's war journal

"Cpl M asked that I post some of my stories from when I was in Iraq. As I said, most of that is either on my blog or in the book, but I do have a few stories that didn't make it in to either of them or were shortened due to space in the book. I thought I would start off by giving ya'll a few of my first impressions of the country, the life and what we are doing there. These will be pulled straight from my journal, so please forgive me if they are a bit emotional or if the writing is not the best in the world."
