8 May 2008

Just checking in and wanted to send a very big THANK YOU to all of those who have shown tremendous support to the Soldiers serving over here. My unit recently received a ton of Girl Scout Cookies from three troops in Texas with the help of the local firefighter’s union and longtime supporter Anthony.

I also want to thank all those who sent birhday wishes and checked up on my well being. My apologies for not replying to your comments and emails, but thank you so very much.

In a few hours I’ll be heading home for a little R&R leave. I’ve been so busy recently that I don’t think I’ve had a moment of peace for a long time. I’m looking forward to a couple of weeks to let my hair down. The lovely and talented and downright sexy Mrs Hook informed me the other day that Andrew the Adventurous and Typhoon Tyler of Trieste were cleaning my BBQ grill and when asked why, replied “duh, Dad’s coming home and he’s going to grill everyday.” Indeed I will.

So if you don’t hear from me much over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be out back tending the grill. Sgt Hook out.

  9. SGT Hook-Enjoy your R&R, your wife, and your grill. I know everyone’s said that all over the place, but you can never say it too much. Rest, recuperate, and get ready for going back when it comes time. Wishing you the best.

Fiddler's Green


Halfway down the road to hell,
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen.
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.
