THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11th.

CPT Patti has been handling the logistics for the 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division in Baghdad for 214 days.

Me, I've been trying real hard to be all the support she needs at home for the same number of days.

And these folks, some Iraqi youth who were among the thousands who participated in yesterdays Anti-Terror demonstrations in Baghdad...they are the reason why.

Study those faces carefully...and scroll left and right to make sure you see them all. (Hover the cursor over the photo, then click on the orange resize square to see the full size photo).

See those smiles? Courtesy of the Red White and Blue, my friends.
