You've got to read this book!!!

I'm in the process of reading a new book..."From Baghdad, With Love," by Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman. It's about the war in Iraq, obviously, but more specifically how a group of Marines finding an abandoned puppy in a warzone ended up healing themselves (written from the author's personal perspective, not just the telling of a story that could fit thousands of soldiers over there). I'm only a chapter or two into the book, but I'd already highly recommend this to anyone...especially someone who's got a loved one fighting overseas.

P.S. My cousin, Chad (a captain in the Army), is doing well. He's somewhere in Baghdad right now, or at least he was the last time we heard anything. Chad was supposed to have come home to the United States at the end of July, but all trips home were cancelled indefinitely. Please, if you're reading my blog, say an extra prayer for my cousin, his family, and all the other soldiers and families involved. Thank you, from both me and from Chad and his family!
