This week I have to be a little patriotic. For those of you that have known me for a while, know that I am a pretty patriotic person. I believe in this country that I have sworn to defend for the last decade plus. This has brought another oppurtunity for me to serve it in the best way that I know how.
I have made this weeks selection "It's America" by Rodney Atkins.
Now this isn't the real video, but it works for me.
So I have been asked by several people to explain my status today so I figured I should. Today at work they asked for a volunteer to take a special job in Iraq. I gladly, and honorably choose to volunteer for this job. I am a single man, that is about to get out of the US Navy. I have no qualifications that are needed in the command, and nothing directly to hold me here. I could use the extra money that will come from this but it has not and will not be a single deciding factor on my choose.
The real reason why I'm doing this you might ask.
It is time for me to do my duty to keep everyone that I care for safe, and free of harm. That includes all of the young men and women that are over there now. There is nothing that breaks my heart more than a fatherless or motherless child when I could have done something about it.
Well I'm doing something about it. It is not official yet, but I hope it will be soon. Take care all.

I am also going to give you a special treat by posting the reason that I have volunteered to serve in Iraq.
So I hope you all have a great week this week. Take care
