Semper Gratus!

What the heck is up with August 16th? Half the blogsosphere will be fasting tomorrow.

Update: There is a VERY GOOD REASON that this date is special. See today’s post In Memory of SGT Mike Stokely and don’t be a dope like me!

From the terrific Tanker Brothers duty roster:
1. Robert Stokely
2. Master Gunner
3. (FReeper) Jimmy Valentine’s brother
4. Dana Bugay
5. MiaMomma
6. PC Mom and
7. Some Soldier’s Mom
8. Tammy Loux
9. Leta (the Great!)

Seems almost a shame to leave it at 9. Anyway, a plug for Master Gunner and a great big one for Leta who recently returned from Kosovo where she’s plotting to take control of the country. OK! OK not really!!! She’s just taken it upon her very capable self to see to it that every Kosovar child gets a decent education in a school not filled with sewage.

Please check out the Journal Entries on Progress Through Peace, Inc. for the lowdown on the first 3 visits, and stay tuned for the saga of the most recent trip she made late last month. If you’ve got a few bucks to spare for a most worthy cause, cough ‘em up there!

For more background, history and great stories, check out Way Down In Kosovo written by Steve Pointer while deployed to beautiful Camp Bondsteel!

Oh yeah, everyone needs a T-shirt to be part of the Rolling Victory Fast! Well, maybe you just “should” have a t-shirt. Melinda is taking orders now, and for the next 10 minutes only will also throw in a set of Ginsu “Ninja” knives! But wait!! There’s more! I’ll add a stale “faux cubana” ceegar with the next 10 purchases!!!
