Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I wish I could be home now to celebrate with you all! I recently had the priviledge of visiting one of Iraq's historical cites, the city of Ur. I'll show another photo of the Ziggurat. This place was really cool. I kept thinking to myself, "I bet Craigie and Katherine would love wandering around these ruins with me." I am sure they would. They are such great sports. They always are willing to do what dumb dad wants to do! I can't wait for Jack to get a little bigger so I can start including him on our adventures. Special thanks to all the people at Trinity who sent letters to me and my Soldiers. It took me quite a while to read all the letters and I am still handing out "Any Soldier" letters. Thanks for all your support! Have a great Thanksgiving and don't forget the Broncos play the Chiefs today!

If you can translate the sign, please let me know! I think is says "Confused tourist stop here for photo"

Packages!

Just like everyone else on earth, I love to receive packages and mail in general. Today, I received 3 packages. How wonderful! The best ones are the ones from my son's kindergarten class. They made cookies for me and sent them all the way here. I was a little taken back on the amount of cookies, the guys here with me assured me that they can handle the amount of cookies. I must admit, that I don't get packages. My section gets packages is more like it (even though they are addressed to me). I would have no teeth left if I had to eat all the candy and cookies being sent to me. So, I willingly share your love with my guys. And they all thank you.
Thanks for everything that you all do for me here. Now, I've got to go eat some cookies.

Rookie Posting

Hello all! Welcome to SSG DADDY! I am glad you found it. I named this blog SSG Daddy in honor of the wonderful letters I get from my wife and kids. I love them so much! Let me know what you think!

Special thanks to all those wonderful people who have sent me packages and email the past couple of months. I love getting mail as much as the next guy but sadly, I am not as quick to return the favor. I'll work on that.
