Kuwait City, Kuwait __ This city is just 55 miles from the Iraq border. But it is a completely different universe. Oil rich Kuwaitis drive Lamborghinis at 100 miles an hour past super fancy shopping malls.
There are no wandering donkeys, roadside bombs or rivers of sewage flowing in the streets like in Iraq.
Tony and I are flying home to SeaTac tomorrow. So this will be my last post to the blog.
We miss home and are anxious to see our wives. But this has been a rewarding assignment.
I’d like to thank readers who sent me emails or posted to this blog. Your encouraging words helped Tony and I get through some of the more frustrating moments.
I hope our stories and photos from Iraq have given readers a little better sense of the war and what life is like for the Fort Lewis soldiers fighting it.
