Happy 4th of July







Even a week in Afghanistan would make me appreciate our freedom, people and prosperity, let alone a year. We celebrated our 232nd birthday with a camp wide festival. Lots of good stuff to eat and enjoy. We had 3 on 3 basketball, 3 point shots, timed weapon assembly (shown), voting and absentee ballot registration (shown), a visit by a camel and donkey, a raffle, excellent barbecue and the always-popular volleyball tournament. About a dozen teams this time and shown is a shot of Chief Kelley going for a low one (successfully). Great turnout and a good time despite 106 degrees.

Well not much time left and you will all be home. In case I don't get to tell you, thank you for this blog. It has been very informative and interesting. Thanks for the picture of your handsom Chief Kelly also. Could you pass a message to him, to protect his body, as he has to put a new door in for his mother, when he visits. And also "nice hat"!! You're all in my prayers and thank you again. Karen
