Tip of the Spear

A few people have been counting I guess; I personally just looked up and noticed.

Its been 5 years now since I crossed the Iraq-Kuwait border in 2003, and among other things, I have been a bad blogger. As time has passed the details of those events, though still vivid in memory, have become less important. Not to me personally, but in my need to convey the details to others in a meaningful way. I was never hung up on it, but at this point I'd say I've just moved passed it. It has shaped my and my families lives and, when the context is relevant, I'd be glad to draw upon my experience. At this point though I'm going to pick up my story with you on the lighter side.
