I don’t remember where this was, but it’s a turkey!

Afghanistan is an amazing place – so rugged and harsh, but beautiful too. Of course, I live in OK so what do I know. I like the Sleepy Skittles video. That poor guy needed a saftey belt to hold him upright while he slept.

I’ve been quietly following your blog for a few months now and want to thank you for the insight as to what goes on over there.
Your videos are awesome, especially the ones of the kids. Let’s hope that all the good you’re doing over there makes a positive impression on the next generation so that maybe they’ll seek peace.
Thank you for serving our country and God Bless you.

Loved Sleepy Skittles! It just tugged at my heart because I know you are all so tired, you work so hard and get so little rest. Every night when my head hits the pillow, I think of you all over there and wish for you the same peaceful sleep I get each night. God Bless and Keep you all! Thanks for taking the time to post the videos. They are amazing.

My heart just breaks watching that great guy trying to get a bit of shut eye ! And who the heck am I to complain about having to get up at 4 am once in a while! You are all heroes! ~THANK YOU~
May God keep a hedge of protection around you and all other men and women in Afghanistan who are serving in our armed forces. GOD SPEED~~
