100 Missions…

Today I completed my 100th combat mission in Afghanistan.  It’s hard to believe its been that many.  It’s also ironic that I hit the century mark right before my R&R.  Today we went on a 4 mile foot patrol from Camp Phoenix to an Afghan National Police outpost near the Kabul River.  It was one of the longest patrols we’ve been on this year.  We met with the ANP to review their plan for securing their sector during this weekend’s national election.  I hope they get it right.  The Afghan people deserve to go to the polls unfettered by the anti-democratic and hostile Taliban.
