2009, etc. etc.
By Lt Col P
We here are on final approach to 2010, while those of you in CONUS have barely begun your descent from cruising altitude. Allow me to eulogize 2009.
What can we say about 2009? It was certainly not dull. We sustained losses in some theaters, we averted disaster in others (how much longer can we rely on dumb luck??), while we felt the sting of vile treachery in the homeland. On the personal home front there has been considerable sacrifice :-( including the untimely demise of my beloved cat, Mister Kitty.
Yet, we persevere. Real progress is being made, and there are expectations for greater gains.
Doc H has seen the completion of a long-term project, and I myself have seen some good works done. Concerning the latter, I must highlight the quiet but steady progress made by the Women of Hope Project-- home of the "bottle burqa"-- and by Sozo International. Those are two very worthy charities I have seen in action, and I strongly urge all to give a little.
And so as we hook up, check our equipment and prepare for the green light, allow me to extend best wishes to all, and especially to my comrades in arms, here and at home. Hoist one for me.
1 Jan Update: So far, at least around here, 2010 looks a lot like 2009. I'll keep you posted. MTF.
