Just thought id share this story. One of my cousins has been working in the mid east ,including Iraq as a truck driver, and is female, which I guess makes no different, but none the less Im proud of her, and her son which is still serving in Iraq. Heres the news interview she gave.

Good on her. I also love seeing a story on the news that shows what people are doing and not just who died. Best of luck to her on her next tour.

I agree with you there Jeff, thats seems to be the most coverage from the "media" ...how many have died. Occasionally you get a great story on the good thats been done,but more so its whats bad. Thanks for the replies gentlemen.
