Operation 
Iraqi 
Freedom!

  **"I am back from Iraq and I am home"

Here is a collection of photos I sent back over the course of my thirteen months in beautiful (NOT!) Iraq and Kuwait.  The Middle East has a look all its own, but for those who know my own home town of San Luis Obispo, California, they'll know that some of the environs didn't look a whole lot different!
