The reason I blog...

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and
keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh
your memory of these meaningful, significant things. Some of them may be funny.
Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly
beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of
special experience."
~Gordon B. Hinckley

Getting the word out...

The following announcement is a documentary that will be aired on PBS. Joey was part of Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 23rd Marines that pushed into Baghdad in 2003. He carried an M-16 and an AT4 (anti tank rocket), and marched through the streets of Baghdad. This documentary started out 5 years ago and was about Fox company and their experiences in Iraq. It evolved into a study of 4 of the guys from his company and how they adjusted to civilian life after they got home from battle. The guys it highlights are all guys Joey lived with, associated with, trained with, and fought with. It will be shown on PBS on Wednesday, November 12th at 9:00 pm for anyone who might be interested.
