Combat Diary: The Marines of Lima Company

Last night, at a special viewing for families and Marines, I was able to watch our company's documentary. I just wanted to let everyone know, that if you wonder what we all went through, then you need to watch this film. It is very powerful and emotional. After it ended, hardly a word was said while everyone exited the theater. This film does a great job leaving out the politics and just showing who we are and the guys we lost. So remember, tomorrow night (Thursday 25th) at 9PM on A&E.

If you can't watch it tomorrow night, then here are some additional airings:
Friday, May 26 1am
Saturday, May 27 8pm
Sunday, May 28 12am & 1pm
Monday, May 29 8am & 2pm

Thompson Cigars

Al Kemp, a cigar expert, writes a Cigar Blog and his blog recently did a post, written by Greg Hoffman - online marketing manager, using a couple of my pictures from Iraq. Make sure to check it out here:

I am a loyal customer to Thompson Cigars and would recommend anyone to try them out if you like a good cigar every now and then. They have a large selection of cigars and accessories available. Plus, they have some of the best prices that I know of. In addition, my squad leader, Sgt. Taylor, wrote to them during our tour in Iraq and Thompson Cigar sent us a large box of cigars. That was a fantastic thing to receive and allowed some guys in our unit to relax a few nights at the dam while smoking a cigar.

One Year Ago Today...

Today is the 1 year anniversary that Lima 3/25 took our first KIAs in Iraq; SSgt. Goodwin and Cpl. Derga. They are missed and will never be forgotten. Pray for the families going through this hard time.

100,000

100,000 is such a large number when you think about it; $100,000 or 100,000 people or 100,000 miles.

Recently, my photostream, on flickr, has been viewed over 100,000 times! I am just amazed to sit back and think about it; that is a lot of people looking at my photography. So, if you aren't one of them, you better jump in on the action and see what it is all about.

On a side note, I recently got my car back from the repair shop. It is running nicely with a younger engine and a younger clutch that came with it. Unfortunately, I can't avoid hitting anymore animals. I recently ran over another cat that was suicidal (5 so far) in my rental and nearly missed a opossum last week. I don't know what the deal is with animals and my vehicle.

Oh, and another thing, I am healing very nicely from my motorcycle wounds, though the scars don't make me happy and I start physical therapy, on my shoulder and knee, at the end of this month. If anyone knows a good place to buy a sportbike or knows someone, by all means let me know because I am in the market for another motorcycle.
