Tomorrow I will be driving to Georgetown, Kentucky, with three of my kids on the way to the reunion of the 1st Battalion, 70th Armor. It's the unit I served with in West Germany from 1976-79.
The reunion is in Chattanooga, but we are stopping for dinner tomorrow with Sgt. First Class Pam Bleuel and her family. She also has three college age daughters, so dinner should be fun. Pam extended her tour in Iraq for an additional six months to continue training soldiers in convoy security. Almost as soon as she extended, she started working at a desk--which did not make her happy.
Next month she will return to work as a math teacher in Georgetown, Kentucky. I can't wait to make bad jokes with her again and meet her family.
