This is an article that ran in both the Washington Post and on MSNBC that include interviews with my cousin, Capt. Rex Blair who is currently serving in Baghdad.  Ok, he's my wife's cousin but he's family and we are all so proud of him and his men for what they are doing for our country and for the people of Iraq.

We've received e-mails from him and talked with his parents about things going on over there that just isn't publicized in the newspapers.  I don't know why except that maybe it shows the good that is coming out our occupation of Iraq.  Some of those items are finally talked about here like building roads and getting running water and electricity to areas of Baghdad that have never had it before.

Anyway, we are so proud of him and pray for him and his men daily and just wanted to post a note about it.
