Snow

Well...hell might not be freezing over but it's snowing in Baghdad!! Justin has been very cold on guard duty but got resourceful. He said there is a barrel that has a fire going in it that has holes drilled in it for ventilation. He puts small rocks in the holes and once they are warm, he puts them in his pockets to keep his hands warm. He said it was great to see the snow cause it brought a little of home to him. Things are well and when asked if he needs anything, he usually always says no, so it's hard to come up with ideas for things to send him. He will travel to Baghad probally in March for a few days for training (computer I think) so hopefully everything goes well. They have already said the 101st Airborne would be coming back to Iraq for another tour once they complete this one and are home for 12 months(?). Not sure how they expect the moral to stay good if they are already telling them that. But, many things could change that so we'll see.
