Some of our friends and coworkers at Camp Fallujah

I have met some of the most wonderful people out here at Camp Fallujah and have made friends that will be lifelong friends.  Each and everyone of them has touched my life.  Yeah - you all know who you are ;-)  Love you all!

These are the guys that worked with II MEF IMO during the first few months we were here.  I was in Al Asad when this picture was taken.  We have said good bye to each of these guys, but after a year - some of them returned and we were able to see and work with them again.

WORDS TO GARTH BROOK'S "A FRIEND TO ME"
 
Well you and I, Were buddies
And weve been since we first met
Me any you - Well weve sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows weve had our bad days
And more than once weve disagreed
But youve always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
Theres times I think you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And theres times Id rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But youve always been a friend to me

Youve always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show to me its okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh youve always been
And you will till God knows when
Yes youve always been a friend to me
