Happy New Year!

Here we are in 2005! It is amazing how time flies. It was great to see so many of you in St. Charles and I was really happy that Rory has been able to be in touch with many people over the holidays.

There has been the standard news out of Ramadi. The troops have found more weapons caches and have captured what the military deems as key leaders in the terrorist network. You can read more about these activities here.

There is also a new letter from Rory's commander, LTC Fant with an update on what the troops did over the holiday. You can read that by clicking here.

Thanks again to everyone for all your love, support and participation over the holidays. You all are the best and it is no wonder that Rory loves you all so much. Here's to a safe, prosperous, and very Happy New Year!
