Well it took a while, but here we are at the Haditha Dam, in Haditha, Iraq. We will be running support and stability operations out of here.  Its kind of cool, i live in a dam.  There is a great view of the euphrates river from this thing.  It looks like something from a movie. We have an internet cafe/phone center, but e-mails/calls will be pretty far between (mostly because of the wait, I just waited 3 hours to get half an hour on this thing) and its slow! Food's ok, and i'm doing fine.

Schroeder, 23, of Cleveland, died Aug. 3, 2005.
