We got to Iraq and had two awesome clinics. We are in Northern Iraq near Mosul. Things are for sure better now than they were a year ago. Top ranking officers are relaying to us that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and morale is great.

We got stuck today because of a bad sand storm. So we will be back on schedule tomorrow visiting six FOBs in the next two days. It is so awesome to be over here with these guys. It makes you realize how little birdies and par mean. Until next time.
