They came to see us.

I had a chance to do escot duty yesterday.  Low threat security for some VIP's.  Jim McMahon, Dave Price of "The Early Show," Kerri Turner (Lt Harriet Sims on JAG), and Kevin Butler - Chacago Bears Kicker.  They had a great time meeting and greating the troops.  My impression was that they were the ones who felt honored to meet those VIP's who are serving this great nation.  They were awed by us.
Kerri got a chance to see her doctor who is here at al Asad.  Not for professional reasons. She knows him from LA before he was deployed to here with a Sea Bee unit.  He was in line with his Sea Bee "body guards" to see her. 
 
Unfortunately, there was not time to stop at the hospital because the plane arrived late but they got out of here on time. 
 
The nurses from "The Cheaters of Death" were also here in full force.  Kerri wondered if there were any females here and found out firsthand who these women are.   Everyone of these women a true professional.  Makes me proud to know them as well as work with them.
