Family and Friends,
Things are going well here at Camp Bastion. The attached photo was taken mid-day (when it is sunny, I don't have to wear a jacket!) near where we do much of our work in support of medical evacuations, re-supply missions and close air support to the Marines on the ground.
The little "Charlie Brown" tree I am holding is obviously a little guy with a lot of Christmas spirit.
I appreciate all the birthday wishes last month and the great Christmas cards and care packages. Your letters have been a real blessing.
Morale here with the Marines remains high -- largely because of the encouragement, prayers and support we continue to recieve from the homefront.
Please continue to pray for peace on earth-especially here.
Semper Fi and God Bless!

So proud of the love and commitment of all our troops. AJ is a prime example of the best of them! Here's a challenge: With all of the circulating Islamaphobia on the internet, what would a "Christlike counter-insurgence" look like on our home grounds? It was revealed this morning on CNN that there is a physiological reason for youth violence: the frontal lobes of the brain are not fully developed (where empathy and reason and joy reside). Is there a counter-insurgence other that violent (sometimes the last resort)means?
