Boxcar 66

With the conclusion of tonight’s Boxcar 66 mission, my 3-month rotation on night shift is now complete. Although the flying is not as challenging as the daytime, low-level tactics---night operations encompass the major thrust of the offensive war effort in Iraq.

The night tour has confirmed that real-life warriors do exist…Great strides are being made in dismantling a network of terror…The will to battle evil has not diminished.

The question remains---will the sacrifices made by our troops be in vain?

Next stop: Tennessee for a visit with my girls, whom I have not seen since Thanksgiving.
