I'm not taking the laptop with me! So, here's my Christmas post a day early. See ya on the 26th! MOSUL, Iraq (Dec. 21, 2003) -- An M-249 Squad Automatic Weapon stands perched under the Christmas tree at the 101st Airborne Division G-6 office at the palace in the Division Main compound in Mosul Sunday night. Instead of under the tree, the presents for the members of the unit are on a cabinet nearby. Photo by Pfc. Chris Jones, 40th PAD Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards All.

Because it was a Christmas present for that year which arrived on time (as the 101st was in their rest billets right before they got on the trucks). I got the story from Joe and Iola s kids, 'k? Who, in my opinion, never should have sold the Bible - but at least if found a good home. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/12/merry_christmas_everybody.html#comment-36981 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2005/12/merry_christmas_everybody.html#comment-36981 Mon, 26 Dec 2005 15:52:10 -0600 Merry Christmas Everybody!
