8,000 Troops to Leave Iraq

I'll believe it when I see it.

Good news is that it is a step in the right direction (if you want your family member home - which we all do).

My brother-in-law is currently in Iraq. He has two children and my sister at home... and I hate it.

I hate it because they need him. I hate it because he is in harm's way on a daily basis.

But I love him for volunteering to go to the desert to take care of business and to protect our way of life (whatever that means).

Pulling a total of 8,000 troops home as announced by President Bush is only good IF the reduction in violence stops totally. If America controls a city, then the city is protected. Leave that city and it becomes the wild west again.

I have no answers.

But I do hope that one of the 8,000 coming home is YOUR troop.

God bless.

Riddick Bowe visits Ramstein

You'll never guess who showed up at the Ramstein Middle School.

I'm sure by the title of this entry, you can tell.

That's right, the former World Boxing Council (WBC) Heavyweight Champion of the World, Riddick Bowe visited the kids, shook hands, and signed autographs.

Thanks for giving these children a great day, Riddick!

What a great surprise for these kids.
