The only news we are going to receive for awhile is what's in the media so I'll try to keep you up to date with what we know. They are sleeping in their vehicles or abandoned houses in Baqouba so there will be no phone or e-mail contact until they are back at the FOB (Forward Operating Base) in Baghdad. The following article is from a reporter embedded with my son's company (C Co, 1st Battalion, 23rd Inf Regiment, 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division leading Operation Arrowhead Ripper):

US Troops Take the Offensive in Baqouba

Thank you so much for all your prayers and support.
