It has been awhile since I have posted due to my schedule, and trying to get to a computer that will allow me to post to my blog. The good news is that my delay has been in large part to wrapping things up here. This week I will leave for Kuwait, and, Lord willing, by this time next week I will be at Ft. Hood. The next stop after that is home!
I'll keep you apprised.

Hi Chaplain,
Your Letter from the Desert regarding the Star Spangled Banner reached my desk today. I liked it so well I created a web page out of it. www.UtVet.com/Higgins.html
I hope you will drop by and tell me how you like it.
Thanks for your service to the nation. God bless America!
