Thanks for support back home

I just want to say that I was impressed by the articles regarding all the service members deployed for the war.

I'm actually writing from Uzbekistan, so I'm behind the power curve. I spent four months in Kuwait/Iraq for the duration of the war, and now I'm part of the theater in Afghanistan.

I'm from Fayette County, I grew up there, went to Starr's Mill High, so seeing the paper definitely made me feel a little closer to home. Thanks for being so supportive!
