The latest from LTC Bob, in an email he sent to a school class that had sent his unit some posters and drawings.

Dear Class-

Thanks for the great poster and the book of pictures that you sent me. I have shared them with the rest of the Engineers here in Baghdad. We really like them. We have Soldiers from the US Army, Sailors from the US Navy, Airmen from the US Air Force and Marines from the US Marine Corps working here, and we have some civilians and contractors helping us, too.

We do lots of different things here in Iraq, like build roads and bridges, help the Iraqi Army, and try to help the Iraqi People make their country better. I sent you four pictures and also a map of Iraq for you to see. The first picture is of me standing by a US Army helicopter.

The second and third ones are pictures of Iraqi farmer’s houses in the south-central part of the country. You can see goats, turkeys, sheep and cows in some of them.

The last picture is a Polish helicopter - some of the soldiers here are from Poland and they are helping us.

I hope you have are having a good school year.

Take care-

LTC Bob
