15 Oct 06 - In Kuwait!
Daily Life Corner - In Kuwait!
All of Charlie Company has Reached Kuwait!! The last plane load of us arrived in the country last night. All of H&S was here and it seems Alpha has moved on to better places (The US) as they were all here before us. The remaining companies were all flying in also simultaneously so I am not for sure they all landed at this time. We had aircraft flying throughout the day and night. You could sense the excitement in all the Marines and sailors as they walked on Iraqi soil for the last time and into the back of the C130"s. I am sure the phones at home have been ringing as we are at last near a normal phone system. They are getting closer, and I am sure you can sense the excitement back there just as we do here
The Corner
As I got to finally read some more e-mails today I read one from a good friend, Reverend Liz, mentioning Americantology coming home and how fitting that was. I pondered it myself and thought how ironic that it would be returning to the original 13 colonies, the birthplace of a revolution and America. How much more patriotic can it get. It is like the rebirth of the American spirit in a sense. Here we have the original 13 colonies (and a few more) represented, in a place where a revolution of independence of their own is under way to speak. Americantology, born from a revolution of sorts, by Marines of the original 13 colonies and brought home to new England. All I need now is a big bell. I guess history does tend to repeat itself for the American spirit is alive and well.
