        Jay say, "Know that ST Norbert is here in Mosul. Pray for Father Madden he goes outside the wire in harms way to the small outposts to carry out his chaplin duties. He is a prime target, but he does this with no reservation and under the protection of the Styrker Brigade or the 107th Field Artillery's Military Police trained from the Pennsylvania Army National Guard."

        SITREP: I just thought you might need some news from Mosul that was a little up beat. We continue to hear gloom and doom. Tell everyone, that we have all our workers show for work; that is great a indicator that the bad guys are in jail, that the Strykers are here in force and that they feel safe to come to work. We are winning the war not by force but by allowing them to decide how best to feed and cloth their families through hard work. They are finding out that it's not Freedom that is hard to get but it's trying to figure out how do they handle Liberty and Justice for all - for themselves too.

KEEP THE FAITH, Jay
