    Hey Libby
    I hope you are doing okay in Iraq. we all miss you back here in Indiana. Me and Becca were crying for about twenty minutes this morning during school just hoping that you were going to be safe and all of us at school today said a prayer for you. I just hope you made it okay and to tell you we all miss you. Bye.

    Hi there Libby,

    It’s been good to read your blog, as it’s opened my eyes to “the other side” and what it’s like for a Marine and a women to be out in the “land of Sand” which has been my home for the past 4 years. It’s easy to forget what it’s like to wonder what it’s like to “go out of the wire”, when you’ve roamed the country from top to bottom as I have, it becomes normal. Yes there is a threat here, (there isn’t one, if you believe what the Politicians say)…but it’s the life we lead, the life of a warrior.
    Being an outsider looking in at the US Military as a whole, I can see that there may be long term health problems with those who serve. One can not be expected to continually experience the stress of this environment and to not be emotionally and physiologically scared. I draw on 11 years of British Military service, most of that time spent on combat deployments. With the British Military, if you are deployed for 1 year, you will be eligable for 2 two week leave periods. We were also allowed to have 2 cans of beer a day, which doesn’t sound much, but the de-stress and relaxation that is gained from those 2 cans, out-weights the small risk of someone “over doing it”!!! I think it comes down to treating whose who serve, as adults and not children, to be told when to eat, sleep ect.

    It is a pleasure to know you and I hope in the short time that our paths cross, there are some laughs and good memories to be had.
    Take care of yourself, you have so much to offer, even if “Bellend” doesn’t see it.
    TTFN.
    Doug.
    Always remember ” we’re here for a good time, not a long time”!!

    Lib,
    You are certainly doing some deep thinking and some deep writing. It has brought me to tears on several occasions. My respect and admiration for you and what you are doing has greatly increased. I have always known you have a big heart, and that being there is tearing it apart. You will soon be home in body, but you will have these people and this place in your mind for a long time. Be sure and keep your ass covered! Love ya lots, Ginger

    Hey Libby,
    What an awsome blog you have. Spent most of the evening reading. I also hear you have spoke with Kenny, your in country “Dad”, happy you both can keep in touch. We miss you both very much. I’m so very proud of you, and respect what you’re doing, both as a Marine, and as a women! Have several things going on here, I’m sure Olivia has kept you posted. Know that everyday you’re in my thoughts and prayers. Take care and look forward to return soon.
    Always your friend
    Frank
