It seems I cannot find enough time in the day. Today I had a good day at work and was told I will be doing a short trip off base tomorrow. Please no one tell my Dad and if you are reading Dad just know I will be fine. I am a Combat Correspondent… Its my job. Anyway not much to report from work but I do have 1 story and 1 conversation to report. The other day we got a story about a kid who was hit by a car near Kabul. If you think you had it bad as a kid check this out. This 10 year old afghan boy was hit by a car on January 30th while he was filling in potholes to earn money to buy food for himself and his 4 younger siblings. Both of his parents are deceased and he has a grandfather that looks out for him and his siblings. Anyway he was flow to Bagram here where his lower left leg was amputated; he had a broken hip, and was on life support. I am happy to report he is off of life support and doing better. Now look at 10 years old what hand this kid has been dealt in life. Hard to imagine and really makes me think about things…. At dinner I talked to an Indian guy whose English was phenomenal. He is a Muslim but loves Americans and acknowledges Christ as an awesome profit. He is also a Sheick (spelling is wrong) which means he can trace his linage back very far. It was refreshing to talk to him knowing that the old saying there is good in all people is so very true. Anyway sorry for being short again but I need to sleep. I still have to read as my masters class has started and I have to be up early again tomorrow. My internet connection stinks too bad to upload that video I wanted to show you. I will try next month once I get the faster and of course more expensive internet or try to provide a link before then. Either way look for tomorrow’s to be very interesting as I am stepping outside of the gate!
