Attached is a note from his wife Steph here, with some good news. Please enjoy the note, and the pics, -- and use this thread as an opportunity to wish Toad well.
"Do what you want with the pics. He would be glad to share them in a DSB thread. The last we heard was that they might be leaving Iraq the 24th of December. But then they still have to spend time in Kuwait and then Camp Shelby when they get back to the states. Hopefully by mid January he will be back home. As long as he is out of Iraq by the 24th or 25th it will be a nice Christmas present for all of us. We will know he is safe at least."
Toad is the handsome fellow on the left. His look here is pensive as I believe he has finally heard that General Zod dumped Helga -- a verie sad state of affairs.

   Toadster is on the right in this pic. He plans to fill the trailers in the back with M1A2 Abrams kits picked up at the local Baghdad hobby shop.
 Group shot. Looks like a bunch, one would not want to mess with!
 A classic shot from Iraq. Toadie was given a tongue lashing for climbing these sabres, painting them gold, and trying to open a McDonald's franchise underneath them. Toadster--always thinking!
 
 Toad is trying to have one of these shipped back to the States to be used as a lawn ornament for his Mississippi home.
 Seriously, we all wish Toad well.
Steve
